Ohio University is more than just an
academic center or a party school,
its two most conflicting images.
The fact is, there
are as many as 10
different images of
Ohio University,
perhaps more.
Each image alone, though, is a lie. But when
brought together, the 10 images of Ohio University
form an illusion of the whole ... of the real school.

The seventh annual Athens
International Film Festival held
April 25 through May 4 at the new

more than 400 films, ranging from
two-minute animation shorts to
two-hour features.
The festival, partially funded by
the Ohio Arts Council and the OU
College of Fine Arts, used "Anima-
tion: Origins and Progress" as its
main theme this year. The program
featured workshops with Disney
and National Film Board of Canada
animators, screenings of experi-

animators such as Jules Engel, Paul
Glabicki, and Al Jarnow. For the first

audience to thousands.
A second festival theme was
"Genre of War" which examined
historical developments in the war
film "All Quiet on the Western
Front" (1930) to "Apocolypse Now"
(1979).
The festival also continued its
International Film Competition
which attracted independent
filmmakers and producers from the
United States, Canada and Europe
in the categories of animation, short
story, experimental, documentary
and feature.
Also included in the festival
was the 1980 Ohio University Film
Conference on "Film and Culture"
which focused on the cultural and
psychological ways spectators view
films. Panels and screenings inclu-
ded topics on Early American
Cinema as a Cultural Force, Film and
Anthropology and Film and Per-
ceptual Theory.
One special feature of the
festival was its showcase of the 1979
Whitney Biennial Film Exhibition
from New York. The exhibition
included a series of 19 current films
by top independent filmmakers in
the United States.

nly in Athens could Jesus Christ
meet the devil himself in a spirit of
fun and good times. Only in Athens
and only on the night of the now
annual Halloween party, held
Saturday, October 27.
Approximately 5000 people
jammed the uptown area, forcing
the closing of Court Street between
Union and State streets. However,
no official party was planned for
uptown, because city and university
officials agreed there would be too
many problems involved with the
large crowd it would attract.
Meanwhile, about 4000 people
attended the offical university
party, held in the Convocation
Center, featuring the Marching
110. After the band show, the
crowd dwindled to about 500 and
was almost evenly split between
students and parents in town for
Parent's Weekend. The Convo
party offered a rock'n'roll band, a
costume judging contest, a pizza-

eating contest, and food, beer and
kisses for sale. Big Bird, won the
costume contest and the runners-
up included one student whose
costume was a portable television
over his head.
Uptown, the mood was more
rowdy and less inhibited. And
confirming everyone's fears, a large
proportion of uptown partiers were
from out-of-town. Of 141 people
arrested that night, only 26 were
university students. As the evening
progressed, police overlooked
open container violations, and the
smell of marijuana was noticable at
times. Several of the costumes worn
uptown were of dubious taste, such
as the people that went as toilet
seats. Many were simply strange
and creative combinations of paint,
aluminum foil and cardboard.
The bars were jam-packed. The
many unlucky ones who could not
get in had to content themselves
with parading down Court Street
and gawking at the decorated
masses.
The added hour gained from
the switch to standard time took its
toll and by the time the bars closed
most people had gone home, and
the streets were again opened to
traffic.
Soon, the city crews were out
in the rainy, early-morning hours, s

he 175 anniversary and "Ohio's
first university" were condensed
into one theme for Homecoming
1979, which took place on Sep
tember 28, 29 and 30.
Although homecoming united
students and alumni, each group
had its own activities planned. The
alumni were invited to the
homecoming dance at the Baker
Center Ballroom Friday night and a
homecoming luncheon Saturday
afternoon. The dance featured
reknowned musicians Sammy Kaye,
a 1932 graduate, and Ernie Mariani,
of 1943. Music was also provided by
the Sounds of Rhythm and Brass.
Activities for the students
included a pep rally and bonfire,
followed by fireworks on the golf
course Friday night.
The Saturday morning parade
featured the candidates for Ms.
Bronze, the Marching 110, the
alumni band, which played the fight
song much to the crowd's delight,
various fraternity, sorority and
community floats, several area
marching bands, Girl Scout, Brow-
nie and Boy Scout troops, Athens
Mayor Donald Barrett, and several
distinguished alumni, including
Kaye, Mariani and Wilfred Kon-
neker.
The Arnold Air Society, spon-
sored by Your Father's Mustache
and Kerr Distributors, entered the
winning float. Zeta Tau Alpha won
the campus-wide banner contest.
A crowd of 17,571 watched the
Bobcat football team destroy Kent
State, 43-13. The offense continued
to be led by junior running back
Tony Carifa, who rushed for 133
yards in 19 carries and sophomore
quarterback Sammy Shon, who
passed for 165. Cornerback Joe
Callan picked off his sixth pass of
the season to continue to lead the
nation in interceptions, and his
team's defense.
That night, the Pop Concert
Committee and ACRN presented a
concert in the Convocation Center
featuring Styx. Over 11,500 people
attended the 90 minute concert,
which featured such songs as
"Lady," "The Grand Illusion," and
"Renegade," as well as songs from
their just-released album "Corner-
stone." Drummer John Panozzo
electrified the crowd on "Ren-
egade" with a five-minute solo, and
guitarist Tommy Shaw had the
audience on its feet after his solo on
"Crystal Ball." After the encore,
18
"Miss America," the masses headed
uptown to jam-pack the bars.
Homecoming also kicked off
the Black Student Cultural Pro-
gramming Board's annual cultural
drive. Several scholarships were
funded by the Black Homecoming
Queen Fund Drive. The candidate
who raised the most money, Kim
Roper, of Cincinnati, was crowned
Ms. Bronze at the dance. Roper was
a freshman sponsored by the
Omega Psi Phi fraternity.
The Alumni were invited back
for homecoming by a joint effort of
the Student Alumni Board and the
Center Program Board. Because of |

SPRING FEST
It was the perfect setting for a
celebration. There was spring
sunshine, music, dancing, and a
raffle. There were still two weeks
before finals, and midterms were
mostly in the past. There was beer
— and lots of it. And there was a
crowd — over 9,000 students and
visitors.
Celebrants were treated to the
sounds of Cameo, Jay Ferguson and
McCuffey Lane, a local country
rock band; as well as Balanese
dancing; an exhibition of the
martial arts by the Karate Club and
a performance by the O. J. Ande-
20
rson Mime Troupe. Ian Matthews
was also scheduled to perform, but
apparently Matthews just decided
not to make the trip. The crowd did
not seem to mind since the other
three bands supplied several hours
of music. Students and visitors also
entertained themselves by flying
kites, playing backgammon under
the sun, visiting several booths set
up by campus organizations,
mingling, and most of all tossing
frisbees.
The Spring Celebration, held
May 19 at the Mill Street field, was
the result of eight months of
planning by the Spring Celebration
Committee, a branch of the Stu-
dent Activities Commission chaired
by Jim Holt and Tony Pierfelice. The
festival was termed a success in the
sense of the heavy turnout, in spite
of a disappointing raffle ticket sale
sponsored by the celebration
committee. Only 1,000 one-dollar
tickets were sold, according to
Andy Colfield, a committee mem-
ber. Various student activities and
organizations raised another 8,000,
and the committee also received
support from area merchants.
Pierfelice pointed out that if
there had been more student
response to the raffle, bigger-name
bands could have been booked.
"Everyone was screaming for
national entertainment," he said,
"but they wouldn't support us. We
got good entertainment, but it was
stuff that a lot of people hadn't
heard of."
Colfield also expressed his
disappointment in the student
response. "They (the students) take
it for granted there will always be a
Spring Festival," he said. "They go
to all the trouble of inviting friends s
from out of town, but they don't 1
take time to spend one lousy dollar «
for a raffle ticket." 3

Assistant to the Vice President
Ted Kohan waited for the 9 p.m.
opening of the 175th Anniversary
Party. While adjusting the chairs
surrounding the floor he probably
wondered whether the free subs
and cake would satisfy the crowd.
Perhaps no one will come anyway,
and then what would happen to the
food?
Meanwhile, security took their
positions at the exits of the floor
area, ready to deal with any
violence that might occur. It was,
after all, the weekend before finals,
which had been plagued with riots
virtually every spring since 1969.
However, it was hoped that the
party would help stop these
uptown disturbances, although
prior attempts by the university to
stop them, such as the Spring
Festival, hadn't had much success.
On the other side of campus,
Michelle Stronz, Mark Henry and
other members of the Committee
On Peaceful Existance were waiting
anxiously. COPE had been blitzing
the campus for weeks, with adver-
tising and personal talks, trying to
raise student awareness of the
disturbances. COPE hoped that if

the students understood what the
trouble was really like, they would
not participate.
Back in the Convocation Cen-
ter, two sides of the floor were
flanked with a row of tables which
each boasted an abundance of
Fritos and potato chips. The front
was the stage with musical instru-
ments and stacks of speakers
demanding the basketball back-
boards make way. On one side, a
booth was selling beer and mixed
drink tickets, the only things not
covered in the three dollar admis-
sion fee. The other side foamed
with beer and mixed drinks.
A small crowd entered at 9 p.m.
The total attendence was about
500, much fewer than the 2000
hoped for.
Two bands, The Seeds of
Fulfillment and Brass Tracks provi-
ded music for dancing most of the
evening. Comedian Jimmie Walker
of CBS' "Good Times" finished the
entertainment at 1 a.m., in time for
an ample amount of submarine
sandwiches and a huge anniversary
cake.
But uptown, it happened again.
By 3:30 a.m., a crowd of people had
taken over Court Street and the
police came out in full riot gear.
Firing knee-knockers and waving
billie clubs, the police pushed the
crowd off Court Street and down
Jefferson Hill. There were some
arrests, but the crowd and the
disturbances were much smaller
than in the previous years. Most
people had, apparently, stayed
away. Although any anxieties about
poor attendance at the party were s
fulfilled, the party and the efforts of |
COPE helped control the annual f
disturbance. I

The first day of school means
the hassle and pain of packing and
unpacking. Moving in involves
unpacking junk, arranging furniture
and simply putting the room in
order. Boxes are scattered and
eventually the once bleak and
barren space becomes alive.
But for some, no university
housing was available when they
arrived. Robert Hynes, Director of
Resident Service and Auxilaries,
explained that there were more
students than anticipated.
Capacity accomodations for
students totaled about 6,400, but
6,600 were assigned housing. So
James and Wilson Halls, both closed
to residents last year, reopened.
The university filled requests
for housing from about 100 Hock-
ing Technical College students.
26
Left - It seems to take lorever to unpack,
but it is satisfying once finished.
Right - Moving in is both exciting and
fearful as thoughts of meeting new people,
making new friends, and attending
different classes go through minds of
students like Will Parks.
Bottom Right - Finding just the right place
for everything is hard in a small dorm room.
These students moved into Wilson
Hall while OU students shuffled
over to James Hall.
Hynes said there were no
accomodations for James and
Wilson residents in the Boyd Hall
dining facility, so these students ate
in another dining hall. Shortly after
fall quarter began, a new system
was designed to take care of this
problem.
In addition to service prob-
lems, the maintence staff had to be
re-adjusted.
Fortunately, OU fared better in
residence housing than many other
campuses in Ohio. OU has not had
to house their students in libraries,
lounges and in unused classrooms.

GRADUATION
This is what its all about. Four
years, more or less, at school comes
to a climax with graduation, and
more than one student has strug-
gled through a senior year with only
one thought: getting that sheeps-
kin.
During commencement exer-
cises on June 9, 1979, 2,130 degrees
were presented, including Honora-
ry Degrees to Lillian Carter, the
president's mother, and Oliver
Ocasek, Ohio senator. Dr. John
Baker, former OU president, gave
the Commencement Address.
Associate Degrees were given
to 234, Bachelor's Degrees to 1,509,
Bachelor's Degrees in the Honors
Tutorial College to 30, Master
Degrees to 326, and Doctors
Degrees to 27.
Outstanding undergraduate
student leaders honored were
Dwight Ferguson, Diane Heemsath,
Russell Irvine, Jeffrey Richardson,
Bernice Seman and 73 other
undergraduates.
The president of OU, Charles
Ping, was the presiding officer.
28
Greetings were given by Ronna
Rubin, senior class president;
Jasmer Narag, graduate student
council president; and John Jones,
Alumni Board of Directors presi-
dent.
The processional, March of the
Priests from "Athalia," and the

^L
Students, football fanatics and those out for a good
time are inseparable at an OU football game. A valid ID
is the pass and enthusiasm is the only pre-requisite to
enjoying a Saturday afternoon at the stadium where hot
dogs, popcorn and alcohol abound.
Despite the "45 cents, I'll take all the nickles you got''
soda, the celebration is basically a BYOB affair. And
many students do bring their own to mix or drink straight.
From wineskins and hidden flasks, spirits drain into
students increasing the rowdiness and enthusiasm.
By half time, the crowd is ready. It's the moment
many have been awaiting. The OU Marching 110
assembles on the field to play such unorthodox songs as
"Dancin' Fool" by Frank Zappa. When the Doobie
Brothers' "Long Train Running" is announced, cheers
come from the stands and a Long Train Running card
section flashes its message from the top of the students'
bleachers. The band makes its transformation from
marching to dancing band while fans applaud every dip,
whirl and kick.
After half time, the exodus of students who came
mostly to see the band attests to its popularity. However
popular, band members are never very successful when,
with perspiration still fresh on their faces, they attempt
to sell their album.
Now that the stands are emptier, the Bobcat's job is
harder. His tail bounces from cheek to cheek as he pads

entertain the audience by somersaulting and diving onto
thick pads. Athletic males hold the diminutive girls in
impossible poses. They keep their pep until the final
ten-second countdown when the crowd pushes to
squeeze through the gates.
Sometimes fans leave with sunburned cheeks and
sometimes with rain-soaked hair. Long after sunburns
fade, hair dries and the score is forgotten, students will
remember a typical day at the game.

Qauld this be Athens?
Fashion at Ohio University
What it could be
40
Fashion is something you read about in magazines.
There's no such thing in Athens. Comfort, not vogue,
dictates dressing here. And no matter how long the media
rejoices over "the preppy look" or "the disco clothes",
they'll never make the bigtime here.
We dress like we're in the country — probably
because we are. There are a lot of old worn jeans seen
about town and a lot of boots. And if you happen to be
uptown on a weekend sometime, you'll see more than
one cowboy-hatted fellow leaning against the bar. But
that is not to say we're "into" western wear.
Actually, we're not into any particular style. Take a

fashion as such does

ticated or comfortable,
students wear whatever
pleases them.
stroll down college street sometime. You'll see more
'Gators than you can count, along with a healthy supply
of buttondowns, crew necks and topsiders.
We also maintain our status in a league of
name-droppers. We wear Calvin Klein on our back
pockets, Pierre Cardin on our sleeves and Brooks
Brothers on our backs. In the spring, the entire campus
must surely be posing for a T-shirt ad, what with a
different logo on every shirt.
And never let it be said that we, here at OU are not
good sports, for though we may not always win, we
always look as though we should. We wear baggy grey
42
sweats, green and white shorts, and the sneakers Mom
got us j ust before sending us off to school. If you look real
hard, you might just see someone in a letterman's jacket.
For the most part, we don't have a certain look. OU
is too diversified to adopt, let alone maintain, any one
style of dress, any behavior or any attitude for long.
Here in Athens, we tend to wear what is
comfortable, what is casual and whatever happens to be $
left in the bottom of the drawer the day before we do our |
laundry. Because, for the most part, that's what fashion 1
is at Ohio University.

44
College students are an active breed. Despite 17
hours of classes, all the studying that accompanies that,
and a social life, students here find time to hit the streets.
Literally. The university has a two and a half mile
jogging track along the banks of the Hocking River and
joggers are seldom chased off the track in Pendan
Stadium, but most running enthusiasts prefer to run in
the streets. In the fall and spring runners plod along
Stewart and North McKinley streets for the scenic East
or South Green routes, or head for a refreshing romp in
the hills via Route 56, toward Lake Hope, Route 20,
towards Stroud's Run, or Route 24, towards nowhere in
particular.
When students want the thrill of competition, they
head for Grover Center. And they head early too, that is
if they expect to get a court. Grover's six basketball
courts, six handball courts, two weight rooms and two
gymnasiums are in constant demand. The competition to
get a court is sometimes just as demanding as competition
on the court.
"There's just not enough,"said Andy Golfield, an
avid racquetball player. "There's just six courts for the
students plus 25,000 townspeople. It's become a very
popular sport, and a lot of townspeople play, too."
Fortunately, intramurals help organize court usage
for those persons who are serious players. During the
winter when indoor sports become most popular,
intramural racquetball, handball, basketball and
45
ftetive
broomball swing into full gear.
Broomball, a non-skaters' hockey, takes place in
aging Bird Arena. When Bird is not being used by the
hockey team, for intramurals or for classes, it brings in
a host of pleasure skaters during late fall and winter.
If Bird Arena is aging, the natatorium is close to
death. Built in 1949, the 25-yard swimming pool houses
both swimming and diving teams, college and university
classes and open swimming by staying open 18 hours a
day. None-the-less dozens of die-hard swimmers brave
cramped and inadequate locker rooms and a crowded
pool to get in a few laps every day. In the fall, intramural
water-polo also is held in the pool.

football, soccer, Softball, baseball, frisbee and the
numerous other outdoor sports.
Basketball lovers find time and space to play year
round. Outdoor courts by the South Green and behind
McCraken Hall are in constant demand when the
weather is warm and the six courts in Grover Center are
in constant use regardless of the weather. The pick-up
games at Grover Center are legendary, and legend has
it that some of the finest players in the Mid-American
Conference participate here and not at the Convo.
Sixteen tennis courts behind Grover Center are
usually packed when there's no snow on them. More
tennis courts are located behind the art building, and
although tennis enthusiasts complain that they are in
terrible shape, they still use them continuously.
For those students that have an addiction to less
physical sports, the Baker Center Game Room is a haven.
In fact, 400-500 students engage in several activities at
Baker on a typical weekday, and this number soars
toward 650 on weekends, according to Glen Hashman,
manager of operations.
Thirteen pool tables take much of this load, but
bowling is another sport at Baker Center that can cure
anyone's studying blues. Unfortunately, physical
education classes, team practicing and intramurals
occupy the eight lanes most of the day. This leaves 6 p.m.

games.
In addition to billiards and bowling, the game room
offers foosball and air hockey. But fanatics of the games
may get frustrated as only one table of each game is
available.
Pool and ping-pong tables can also be found in the
basements of many dorms for study breaks and
relaxation.
Regardless of what he likes to do, a student at Ohio
University can usually find a place to do it, if he can find
the time.

The man who upstaged the band
Coming from an assistant
coaching job at the University of
Virginia, first-year head coach Brian
Burke guided the football team to a
6-5 record, the Bobcats first winning
season in three years. For Burke,
this was his first job as head coach
of a college football team.
Burke's first team of the season
was a tough one, against Big-Ten
foe Minnesota. Though the Bobcats
controlled the game for three
quarters, the Gophers scored two
quick fourth-quarter touchdowns to
win, 24-10.
"After the game I felt that there
wasn't any question that we could
play with Minnesota," Burke said.
"With better execution, we might
have won. I felt that we could play
with any team in the MAC."
Despite Burke's optimism, the
team had its ups and downs in the
MAC. The Toledo and Central
Michigan games were examples of
downs. Referring back to the Toledo
game, Burke said, "It was an
extremely frustrating game for both
the coaches and the players. We just
didn't play well. We are capable of
playing so well and didn't, yet we still
were in the game."
The Bobcats pleased Burke in
some games, though. He felt that
the offense played well in beating
Bowling Green while racking up 48
Brian Burke brought out a team that returned respectable play to Peden
52
points, and the defense performed
well against Miami, allowing the
Redskins just seven points.
Burke's one goal is a Mid-
American Conference champion-
ship, he said. But Burke's future at
Ohio University was questioned
after the season when it was
speculated that he might move on to
another school.
"I'm on a one year contract," he
said later. "It works both ways. In s
this business, you don't plan much S
further than one year ahead." m

Something new: a winning season
A new coach, a winning season
and a respectable showing in the
Mid-American Conference were
new experiences to many members
of the footb team. Under the
direction of first-year head coach
Brian Burke, the Bobcats finished
6-5 overall and 4-4 in the MAC.
The Bobcats faced some tough
opponents during the season. The
University of Minnesota handed the
Bobcats their first loss in the season
opener, in a hard-fought game that
was closer than the 24-10 score
indicated.
After several years, the Bobcats
Chip Gamerlsfelder
finally had their revenge in Oxford,
as 19,674 looked on. In a defensive
battle, perennial rival Miami was
beaten by the foot of kicker Steve
Green, who kicked three field goals
in the 9-7 win.
Burke expressed his views on
how well the offensive and defensive
units performed. "I was pleased
overall with both sides," he said. "In
games nine, ten and eleven,
(Cincinnati, Bowling Green and
Northern Illinois) we put a lot of
points on the board. That pleased
me because in mi-season we ran
into the tougher defenses. Towards
The Miami game had its tips and downs, but the Cats won, 9-7.
the end of the year we were getting
better," he said. "Defensively, we
were pretty spotty: good against
Miami, bad against Toledo. Toward
the end of the year, against Bowling
Green, we shut them down. It was
mainly a difference in attitude,"
Burke said.
One of the bright spots for the
Bobcats this year was sophomore
quarterback Sammy Shon. "I was
very pleased with his development,"
Burke said. "I look back to our
spring game and Steve Green put
the only points on the board."
Under the field leadership of Shon,
the Bobcats ended up third in the
all -MAC in total rushing.
Green was another individual
bright spot. The third and last
brother in the Green family to kick
for the Bobcats will be difficult to
replace, said Burke. "We'll be
recruiting two people to fill Steve
Green's shoes. He handled all our
kicking game. On a trip it helped so
we could bring another player who
might be needed elsewhere."
The team had several other
outstanding performers. Joe Callan
anchored the seventh-best passing
defense in the country by leading
the nation with nine interceptions.
Running back Tony Carifa led the
team in rushing with 700 yards and
receptions with 45. Kevin Babcock
was close behind with 687 yards
rushing, despite playing three
games with a broken rib. Tedd
Lucas led a very balanced defensive
unit with 77 tackles.
Five players made first-team
all-MAC: Babcock, Callan, Mark
Geisler. Green and Steve Groves.
Geisler, a tight end, was also
awarded the NCAA post-graduate
academic scholarship in academics
and athletic eligibility. Brian Burke
gave what he felt was the biggest
honor for the team: "We finished
fourth and we were picked eighth."

^fa/The race for varsity status
As the year began drawing to a
close, at least four club sports at
Ohio University still held hope for
becoming the 12th men's varsity
sport. In order for Ohio University to
reiain its NCAA division 1-A status.
Athletic Director Harold McElhaney
has to pick a 12th varsity sport by
June 1, 1980. By the spring, four
sports were still in the running:
volleyball, rifle team, lacrosse and
hockey.
It seems odd that the immense-
ly popular hockey team would be in
competition with, say, a virtually
unknown team like rifle, but accord-
ing to McElhaney. popularity is only
a small aspect of the consideration.
Cost, availability of nearby competi-
tion, a coach and a facility and
student interest all play roles in his
decision.
It appeared that rifle team had
the inside track. The major stum-
bling block for the rifle team was
overcome when it was learned that
the NCAA would sanction the sport.
"We've already got a rifle range and
a coach available," McElhaney said.
"And there are a lot of schools with
a rifle program."
Hockey proved to be both
successful and popular again during
the 1980 season, but it is an
expensive program, and after the
resignation of John Menzies in
March, the team is without a coach.
A major brawl that broke out in a
game with Cincinnati also hurt the
team's chances.
"It didn't help any," McElhaney
said of the brawl. "I don't mean that
to be the kiss of death. But if hockey
became our 12th sport, an incident
like that could be the death of the
team."
Volleyball and lacrosse have
also maintained successful pro-
grams during recent years. While at
Allegheny College in Pennsylvania,
McElhaney was instrumental in
bringing varsity status to the
lacrosse team there. But he insists
that this will not affect his decision
here. Both lacrosse and volleyball
already have facilities and all the
equipment they need.
A number of other club sports
had early hopes of attaining varsity
status, but one-by-one they
dropped out. Water polo, gymnas-
tics, judo, bowling and fencing were
all mentioned early, but were
eliminated.
Boxing and rugby, two other
popular sports at Ohio University,
were never considered because
neither sport is sanctioned by the
NCAA.
"I think boxing is a good sport
and I would like to see it sanction-
ed," McElhaney said. "But right now
it's out of the question ."
Boxing has been out of the
running from the beginning, and
soon three more sports will be, also.
The lacrosse team hat come a long way recently, but la thia enough?
58
Hockey's violent nature both added to its popularity and hurt its chances to become varsity.
* MKM
Lacrosse is also violent — when compared to rifle or volleyball —but doesn't pull as many punches as hockey.

brightens
season
In the past OU has had anything
but a winning soccer team. As 1979
rolled around, it looked as if the
soccer team would repeat history
and continue the tradition of losing.
On September 27, after respec-
tive 4-0 and 2-1 losses to Evansville
and Denison, Coach Earl Draper
was fired. He ignored Athletic
Director Harold McElhaney's order
to establish tighter control of his
team, which was notorious for,
among other things, leaving beer
cans and cigarette butts on the
team bus. After a tripped emer-
gency hatch was blown open,
Draper received the ultimatum to
resign or be fired. He chose not to
resign.
According to Jay Mariotti,
former Post sports editor. Draper
had the reputation of being the most
controversial coach at OU.
Assistant coach Andy Smiles
took over and smiles are what he
brought to both soccer fans and
players. Dedicated to winning.
Smiles helped to transform the
losing soccer players into champs.
Overcoming their original setbacks,
a winning record became a reality.
The highlights included a 3-2 upset
of Ohio State and a 2-0 victory over
Miami.
Key players for the season were I

Injuries
bring
Bobcats
down
"We never could work with one
strong lineup," said Gwen Hoover,
second-year women's volleyball
coach, referring to the numerous
injuries that hampered the 11-23
Bobcats all season. Injuries indeed
proved to be the main contributing
factor to the squad's below .500
performance, most notably with the
early loss of co-captain Barb
Haefner to an ankle injury.
Setters Sue Roth and co-
captain Judy Mahan were two of the
most consistent players on the
team, according to Hoover. They
picked up some of the slack after
Haefner's injury and provided
leadership.
Hoover noted that the team's
best wins were against Ashland
College (15-10, 15-12) and Marshall
University (15-6, 15-9). This trian-
gular match was one of only four
matches played at home this year
with the 11 remaining matches on
the road.
Perhaps the highest point of an
otherwise dismal season was the
development of freshmen Donna
Knutson and Mary Rine. The duo
became starters toward the sea-
son's end and has Hoover looking ;
forward to the future. "They'll play a 5
very important part next season," *
she concluded. »

Underdogs capture state crowri\fe
Trust in other teammates
helped OU Women's Field Hockey
team capture the state champion-
ship in November for the 1979
season.
"People trusted other people,"
said Coach Kim Brown. "We could
do more offensively as the season
progressed."
In regular season play, the team
was 3-7-3, with wins over Ball State
University, Muskingum and Ohio
Wesleyan. Having the worst record
of any team entered in the state
competition, OU went on to defeat
Bowling Green, top-seeded Ohio
State University and Miami Univer-
sity, with a 2-1 victory, to win its first
state championship.
"Things finally worked when
they should," Brown said "Each
person on the team contributed to
the success."
The field hockey team lost,
however, in regional competition
with defeats to Purdue and South-
ern Illinois at Mt. Pleasant, Mi-
chigan.
"We should have had a better
season," said Brown. "We had
possession of the field. We should
have won those other season
games."
Two players who helped the
team succeed were Joan Weber and
Captain Rhonda Rowlins. Brown
called Weber the best goalkeeper in
the state.
Rawlins, former Bermuda re-
presentative to the world field
hockey championship, played in
international competition. "She
could handle stress. It's nice to have
a member who has had experience
with stress," said Brown.
Mary Hinders and the other Bobcats went into the state tournament as decisive underdogs, but won anyway.

A
Co-ed again
This is the first year OU has had
male cheerleaders that are "this
good" according to Mark Gable,
one of six on the squad. They and
their female counterparts root for
the Bobcats during football and
basketball seasons.
The cheerleaders' job is to
psyche up the crowd and the
players. An all-girl squad is some-
what limited in what it can do —
having men adds more variety to the
show.
"The guys are the ones who do
most of the gymnastics, lifting and
messing around in front of the
crowd," said Gable. "Face it, guys
are big hams when given the
chance."
The sports administration,
which sponsors the cheerleaders,
wanted to get men on the squad to
bring in more of a crowd and
therefore more money, plus add
more spirit to team sports.
The men get teased for being
cheerleaders, but most people in
the stands like them and admire
their stunts.
"I went out as a joke, "explained
Gable. "But then I saw how much
work it really was; it wasn't much of
a joke then."
Mike Meyers is one of the men who was added to the cheerleaders this
year.

Youth bring hope
Cross country has come a long way .
It was a young cross country
team that upset Ohio State and ran
off to a 50-26 season.
The team, led by a former high
school ail-American freshman Paul
Knott, hustled to its best finish in the
Mid-American Conference since
1971, sixth place. Knott ran a solid
20th in that meet.
The highlight of the season,
though, came September 29 when
the Bobcats beat the Buckeyes
21-39 in a dual meet. It was the first
time ever, according to Coach Larry
Clinton, that OU had beaten Ohio
State.
The team also featured two
other freshman, Jeff Blind and Mark^
Mutter; two sophomores, Bill
Tomoff and Wes Hudson, as well as
junior Steve Zronek and senior
Gerry Pence.
"We're headed in the right
direction," said Clinton. "Next year
we'll have the strongest nucleus I've
ever had. We'll look extremely
strong, with a possibility of challeng-
ing for the MAC championship."
Though not a challenger, the
1979 team was still strong. In the
Ohio Intercollegiate Championship,
the Bobcats finished an impressive
eighth out of 36 schools, and were
paced by Hutter's 20th place finish.

The fall season was the rugby
team's worst showing since their
arrival at Ohio University in 1972.
"Our 1979 season could be labeled
what coaches refer to as a rebuild-
ing season," said Rugby Club
adviser Peter Griffiths. The club
finished the season with a 2-6
record, far short of spring season
when the team claimed the MAC
crown.
Only four lettermen returned to
lead the team and of eight
scheduled games, only one was
played on OU turf.
The major setback involved a
ruling from a new club-sport
committee set up this fall. The
committee ruled that in order for a
player to compete, he must carry at
least seven hours per quarter.
Even without an impressive
overall record, the fall season had
its highlights. The first win was over
Wright State and the second victory
came after an impressive bout with
a highly-touted Cleveland West Side
Club.
Individual standouts on the club
were co-captains Scott Kleman and
Brian Bradford. Kleman was cited
for his experienced play in the
trenches, in the tight-head prop
position, comparable to an offen-
sive guard in football.

jSxA dog of a year
Everyone predicted a dismal
season for the young, inexperienced
Bobcats, but few were pessimistic
enough to forecast a first-ever
last-place finish in the Mid-
American Conference and an 8-18
record.
But it turned out to be a s^ason
that started wrong, with four players
leaving the team for various reasons
before the half-way point. The team
staggered to a 3-13 record before
head-coach Dale Bandy, under
pressure from the media and much
of the student population, an-
nounced his resignation, effective
after the season.
At this point, the 'Cats woke up
and won half of their remaining 10
games, salvaging their 12th con-
secutive winning record (7-6) in the
Convocation Center. Led by so-
phomore guard Kirk Lehman, who
averaged nearly 20 points a game in
closing weeks and 17.6 for the
season, the team pulled off one-
point victories over Ball State,
Central Michigan and Eastern
Michigan, and beat Kent State by 10
and Western Michigan by six in the
stretch drive.
But it was not enough as the
team still finished 5-11 in confer-
ence play and did not qualify for the
conference championship tour-
nament. The first half of the season
was brutal to the Bobcats. Their
losses included a 50-83 scorching at
the hands of Central Michigan, and
a 50-72 drubbing at home to
Bowling Green, the Cat's worst loss
ever in the Convo.
Lehman and his back-court
partner, Spindle Graves, led the
Bobcats in virtually all offensive
categories, displaying the team's
lack of depth. The 6'1" Graves led
the team in rebounding, despite a
5.3 average, assists and steals, and
was second on the squad in scoring
with a 12.1 average. Lehman also
led the team in field goals, free-
throw percentage and minutes
played. Junior John Patterson, who
was platooned at center with senior
Doug Graves, led the team in
field-goal percentage and blocked
shots, but finished tied with Doug
Graves for fifth on the team in
rebounding, at just 2.8 per game.
Ironically, the team's defense
was greatly improved over that of
the 1978-79 team, and allowed just
73.3 points per game. Spindle
Graves was the cornerstone of this
defense, but aggressive play by
forwards Jim Zalenka and Bill
Littlefield, and guard Tim Woodson
also helped slow the pace. Un-
fortunately, even at a slow pace, the
Bobcats could not keep up. They
were held to under 60 points five
times.
Before the season, Bandy said
"Our strength lies in team depth and
not individual stars. There's no
doubt in my mind that we will be a
physically stronger team and be
quicker defensively, but we will be
inexperienced." Because of the
inexperience, and because the
team's depth did not show through,
causing Lehman and Spindle
Graves to take the role of stars, the
Bobcats suffered through their
worst season since 1948-49, and
their worst MAC finish ever.

Delusions of grandeur
Ohio University vs. Ohio State:
the names would suggest a rivalry
despite the fact that they play in
different conferences.
But, it didn't take long to
pinpoint the difference between the
MAC and the Big Ten. A 27-point
score (78-51) was the big difference
when the Bobcats took on the
number three ranked team in the
nation, December 1, 1979 at St.
John Arena in Columbus, home of
the Ohio State Buckeyes.
As over 13,000 spectators
watched the official season opener,
OU fans were given some hope in
the first half as the Bobcats rallied to
tie the score at 25 and were only two
points down at the half.
It had taken six and a half
minutes for Jim Zalenka to score the
first of his 15 team-high points for
the Bobcats.
But the second half was a
different story. Led by Clark
Kellogg, Herbie Williams, and Kelvin
Ramsey, the Buckeyes began rolling
away from the Bobcats never
allowing OU to catch up again.
Coach Bandy of the Bobcats
said that the fulfillment of potential
was the key to the game's success.

tK/ Fights of the champions
The boxing team came out a
winner in the Fights of the Cham-
pions held at the Convocation
Center February 24, but somehow
Coach Maung Gyi couldn't have
been completely happy.
Sure, OU boxers decidedly beat
the top-ranked squad in the
country, West Chester State, by
winning six of eight bouts. And yes,
OU took one of two decisions in the
feature fights with Air Force
Academy pugalists. But the main
attraction, a fight featuring the
team's most popular boxer, L.B.
Towns, was cancelled three days
before the tournament. Attendance
at the fights then fell short of
expectations, with a crowd of little
over 2,000, and the team did not
raise enough money to send all the
boxers to the national champion-
ships, to be held in Colorado
Springs.
Yet, those fans that came saw
plenty of action. OU's John Beckwell
lost a split decision to open things
up, but Leon Butler scored an
impressive decision over West
Chester State's Dave Graham to
turn the tide. Veteran Tony Lake
battled back in the third round of his
fight to defeat a heavier John Pendel
of West Chester State, and the Ohio
romp was on.
OU had come into the tour-
nament ranked fourth nationally by
the National Collegiate Boxing
Association, despite beginning the
year with just two returning boxers,
Lake and Towns.

"With just one girl graduating,
we had high hopes for a much better
season.'' said Coach Gwen Hoover
about the 1979-80 women's basket-
ball season. With seven returning
letter winners, the coach had reason
to believe that this season would be
a good one. But, at the end of the
year, their record was 9-11.
Inconsistency and poor mental
attitude were the weaknesses of the
team, according to Hoover. "The
girls would make a mistake and
dwell on it instead of wiping it out of
their minds and going on with the
game," said Hoover.
A larger and tougher varsity
schedule may also have contributed
to their losing season. One of the
most challenging games was
against University of Dayton, ranked
number one in the state. Dayton
defeated OU by 21 points. OU's
biggest win was against Ashland
when they won 103-57.
Leading scorer's were senior
co-captain Diane Biber with 9.9
points per game and junior Judy
Uher with 8.8 points per game. Uher
was one of the most valuable
players on the team according to
Hoover. "She has a good mental
attitude, a never quitting one,"
Hoover said.

The men's volleyball club
topped off a successful season by
competing in the Mid-American

Led by player-coach Rafael

Holden, the team played matches
tournament style. This means that
the matches, played on weekends,
are round-robin and then participat-
ing teams are seeded for regular

all of this leads up to the season's
final tournament, the MIVA.
Although many individuals
stood out this year, Holden said,
"Volleyball is a team sport, not an
individual sport. You have to love it
and you have to learn to divide your
time between classes and being
gone on weekends."

A brawl with Cincinnati caused a game to be cancelled.
In a lackluster OU sports
program the ice hockey club stood
out as a refreshing exception. When
the Midwest College Hockey League
tournament ended the season OU
was champion for the second
consecutive year after defeating
Denison 7-2. It also had a fine
regular season record of 11-5-1.
The club gave OU's frustrated fans
something to cheer about.
And cheer they did. OU hockey
commanded a large following of
spirited, boisterous and fiercely
loyal fans. In the Cincinnati game
fans threw beer on the Bird Arena
ice after a fight broke out that the
officials couldn't or wouldn't break
up. "It's best to forget about that
incident,'' OU Coach John Menzies
said. "It was not the fan's fault, it
was a result of poor officiating."
Why is there such a large
hockey following? "Hockey is a
great spectator sport," Menzies
explained. "It's exciting. And
besides," he grinned, "we're a
winner."
The club's schedule was far
from easy. They played a Dayton
team that beat them twice, and
tough Denison and Purdue teams.
To Menzies, the high point of the
season was the exciting come-
from-behind 7-6 win over Purdue
that kept the fans on the edge of
their seats to the end.
Standout players this season
included Kurt Antkiewicz, captain
Craig McAlister, Darryl Roberts,
Greg Craddick, Bob Joyce, Rich
Barle and MCHL tournament most
valuable player, Steve Betsko.
With the team's good record
and obvious fan support, many
believe hockey should become OU's
12th varsity sport. But Menzies is
not optimistic. "Don't hold your
breath," he said. "It probably won't
be."
But it probably won't matter
much to Menzies. He announced
that this would be his last season as
coach. He compiled a 30-15 record
during his three-year stint, high-
lighted by a 16-game winning streak
at Bird Arena. Menzies summed up §
the three years saying, "I've made »j
some mistakes, but we've accom- %
plished a lot." o
Starting goalie Chuck Wilson was brilliant in the MCHL playoffs.

Houska's surprising grapplers
In its best showing in three
years, the OU wrestling team
finished second in the Mid-
American Conference tournament,
held in Muncie, Indiana. A strong
Kent State team captured its
second straight MAC champion-
ship, finishing 17 points ahead of the
Bobcats, with 71 1/2.
Ohio was again expected to not
do well, yet six Bobcats placed in
the tournament. Lorant Ipacs, the
number one seed at 177 lbs., placed
first in the MAC by pinning Bob Stag
of Kent State. Heavyweight Greg
Byrne and Bill Potts of the 167 lb.
class both placed third, while Andy
Slayman, at 150, finished fourth.
One hundred thirty-four lb. wrestler,
Andy Lokie, lost a close
match (13-11) to place second, as
did Rich Roehner, in the 142 lb.
class.
Ohio had a very trying season
on its way to the MAC champion-
ships. For many dual meets the
Bobcats had to forfeit several
weight classes and could find no
one to fill them. This contributed to
the grapplers losing four dual meets
by one point each. One of these was
to 17th-ranked Michigan, 24-23.
The lack of depth hurt the
Bobcats all season. Coach Harry
Houska, in a call to a recruiter,
indicated just how desperate the
situation was: "Don't tell me about
juniors, I want to hear about seniors.
We need help immediately," he
said.
Injuries also subtracted from
their performance; as many as four
wrestlers were out at one time,
leaving the lower weight classes all
but barren.
The Bobcats participated in a
wide variety of tournaments and
matches during the season. They
began with the Southern Open, in
which they finished ahead of Kent
State, 681/2-68. The team took sixth
place in the prestigious Lock
Haven-Matt Town USA Tourna-
ment. In an early show of strength at
the Ohio Collegiate Invitational at
Ohio State, the team placed fourth
out of 18 teams, despite having only
seven of 10 weight classes filled.
This exemplified how strong Hous-
ka's team was, even without depth.

Torn, Broken or Strained:
Down but not out
When an athlete goes down
with an injury, fans often think of it
as a statistic, a loss, at best a
handicap to the team: Babcock is
out; Zalenka is injured; Hardy is hurt
— the team won't be as strong.
But to the athlete, an injury
often means personal frustration,
fear, and usually a great deal of
physical pain.
Sophomore tennis player Pa-
trice Risaliti developed cinovitis, an
inflammation of the rotator shoulder
cuff during the summer of 1979. "I
was depressed," she said. "I was
afraid I wasn't going to play tennis.
I wouldn't lift my arm; I couldn't put
my hand in my back pocket. I
couldn't even run because of the
movement."
Fortunately, OU has a strong
therapy and trainer program, run by
head trainer Skip Vosler, but is
administrated by student trainers.
"It's really first class," said Mike
Echstenkamper, who missed sever-
al baseball games in the spring to a
pulled hamstring. "I was treated
super. They really spoil you."
Risaliti agreed. "The trainers
are great," she said. "I was so close
to the trainers; they make your
program so smooth. I guess we
wouldn't have anything if it weren't
for them."
Vosler gives much of the credit
for the program's success to the
athletes. "It's very easy to work with
athletes because athletes want to
get well," he said. Improved athlete
conditioning has cut down on the
severity of injuries, said Vosler, but
doesn't stop them from occurring.
"You can't control them," said Mark
Geisler, who missed much of his
freshman and sophomore years on
the football team because of a groin
pull. "If you think about injuries and
try not to get them, that's when you
get them. The best way to prevent
them is to be in good physical
shape, but if you just happen to be
hit right . . ."
Injured athletes receive conditioning, therapy and treatment from student trainers like Mary
O'Carroll.
80
The pain of injuries is often compounded by fear and frustration when it's severe enough to sideline an athlete.
81
Sluggers splash into second
For Gary Grips and the reat ol the team, an MAC championahip waa in eight, but painfully out of reach.
82
Despite their .500 or worse
finish for the third season in a row,
the baseball team wound up second
in the MAC behind Miami University.
Ohio's record was 20-20 overall
and 8-4 in conference play.
Priessman's .378 average kept France
smiling through lunch.
Coach Jerry France said of his
seventh season, "The biggest
surprise was how we started out on
the spring trip." The team was 2-11
in early spring play, against such
powerful teams as North Carolina,
Duke and Wake Forest, which went
to the NCAA playoffs.
"The other surprise," conti-
nued France, "was all the rain. It
hurt our third and fourth starting
pitchers, who were never really in
the groove."
The team was rained out of so
many games in league play, that
there was some doubt as to whether
it would be able to play enough
games to win the MAC.
But the season was full of
exciting, close games. In fact, the
extra-inning, 4-1 loss to Bowling
Green constituted the largest losing
margin of the season. Many of the
games lost down south on the
spring trip were by one run.
"It was an exciting year, very
close," reflected France. "So many
close games hurt us."
Individually, pitcher John Bur-
den wound up with a 8-1 record,
while Larry Nicholson had a 7-4
season. Mike Echstenkamper led
the hitters, batting .424, and Kevin
Priessman had a .378 year.
"Our speed was really good,"
France said. Shortstop Lyle Govert
set an O.U. stolen base record with
39; Dave Spriggs and Echstenkam-
per also had good years.
The team had four players
drafted by the pros. Echstenkam-
per, a center fielder who was on the
Coaches' All-American second
team, signed with the New York
Yankees. Third baseman Scott
Kuvinka, a Sporting News All-
American, signed with the Pittsburg
Pirates, as did Burden and Nicho-
lson.
Cheering in rare good weather are Doug Stackhouse, Si Johnson, Jeff England, Brian Kerns, Glenn Pawloaki and Tom Vitale.

Golfers swing

MAC title
It proved to be an exciting yet
controversial season for the Golf
team. Led by steady sophomore Jeff
Mawhorr, who averaged 76 strokes
a game, and senior Jeff Johnson,
the Bobcats squeezed past Ball
State to capture their 17th Mid-
American Conference Champion-
ship.
However, in an unprecedented
move, the District IV Collegiate Golf
Selection Committee opted to
exclude the MAC championship
squad from the NCAA tournament.
Junior Lowell Dencer, who
finished third at the MAC champion-
ship stated his disappointment.
"Speaking for everyone, I think it
has dampened our spirits. What
good does it do us now playing in
the MAC?"
Individually, Kermit Blosser was
voted the 1979 Mid-American
Conference coach of the year, and
Mawhorr was darned to the all-
conference team.

In only their second year of
existence, the Ohio University
Ultimate Frisbee Team registered an
impressive record, as well as,
generating enthusiasm that made
the club a success.
The season started off on a sour
note, but the Bobcats pulled
together to win several straight. They
qualified for the Regional U.S.
Championship by winning the
Northern Ohio Sectional Champion-
ship, and finishing with an 17-4
record.
Co-captains T. J. Kazamek and
Mike Wittwer pulled the team
together by working hard to find
competition. Other key players were
Doug Gleichauf, who led the team in
scoring and Dave Weiss, the play-
maker and leader in assists. Kerr

Doug Gliechauf dropped this one, but the team was up all season, until it went to Wisconsin for the U.S. regionals.

At the state tournament, how-

After beating Bowling Green in the

Valeria Conkey made te Midwest All

Brown said, "I would have a hard

worked with."
She attributed the teamwork to
eight seniors who have worked
together for years and also have the
ability to work well with freshmen.
Brown added, "Lacrosse is one of
the most exciting games around and
it's building a very strong tradition
at Ohio University."

A year for individuals
MEN'S TRACK
The men's track team once
again boasted several individual
stars but no depth as the team
finished a disappointing fifth in the
Mid-American Conference last year.
Forty of the team's 63 points
scored in the MAC championship
were scored by two members: Jesse
Young and Jerry Hatfield. Young
won the 200 and 400 meter runs,
setting an MAC record in the 400.
Hatfield won the long and triple
jumps, setting an MAC record in the
triple jump. They both qualified for
the NCAA championships.
Coach Larry Clinton blamed the
team's lack of depth on the fact that
three key team members were lost
spring quarter due to academic
ineligibility.
Oecatheiete Keith Fritz misses a jump. Charlie Dempwolf pushes for that little extra that never came to the team as a whole.

Women's track

Shot-putter Linda Bench lets it fly.
The women's track team had
m trouble getting people out for the

sj members.
> "It was a good season for
g individuals," said Cheryl Brown,
I however, who specialized in long
g distance running events. "For as
| many people as we had on the team,
1 we did a decent job."
Indeed, individuals broke 17 of
the school records in 1979, though
it was only the team's third year of
existence.
The team was led by three-year
veteran Karen Bleigh, who
specialized in the pentathlon but
also competed in a number of other
events, including relays.
Brown felt this was one of the
teams key weaknesses. "The small
team made us double up a lot," she
said. "If people were in less events. I
they could have concentrated on t
one event." £
Kim Preston's high-jumping ability proved to be a positive aspect during the '79 season.

Overall, the team finished with a

MAC standing.
"I thought we'd have a better
season, but injuries cost us
matches," coach Dave Stephenson
said. "We had a strong league to
compete against; several teams
were nationally ranked. We also had
some inconsistent play in doubles."
His starters included team
captain Jim Oppenlander at number
one; Tony Torlina. second; Ried-
mayer, third; Jim Asher, fourth; Peter
Scarff, fifth; and Stephen Gunder-

a smash
The women's tennis team
ended their 1979 season with an
impressive 11-2 record, finishing
3rd in the state.
The greatest strength of the
squad was consistency in a singles
play. Junior Karen Cook from
Columbus played in the number one
position, compiling an 11-2 record.
Senior Lynn Bozentka, the
second singles player, ended the
season at 8-3, while Sue Regan
finished with an 1 1-2 record at third

Ann Kopf was number four; her
individual record was 12-1. Barb
Haefner, Lori Koenig, and Kathy
Nickels rounded out the top seven.
The Cats competed in cold,
snowy weather every weekend in
April. Miami and West Virginia
handed the team its only losses,
with Miami beating them again in
the semi-finals of the state tour-
nament.
Lynn Bozentka solidified the number-two position with an 8-3 mark.

Becoming first class
Women's athletics at Ohio
University have come a long way
since 1973 when Catherine Brown
was head coach for nine different
varsity sports.
Today, OU has a head coach for
almost every sport, plus some have
assistants. Scholarships are now
commonplace in the field of
women's athletics, and Ohio Univer-
sity has increased its distribution of
instate scholarships. The athletic
budget for women has also been
increased over the years, hitting its
peak in 1979-80.
Many women's sports at OU
receive equal or better treatment
than some men's sports on campus.
The men's soccer field must be
relocated to make room for new
fields for the women's field hockey,
lacrosse, and softball fields. The
intramural football and soccer fields
will be moved to make room for the
women's facilities.
The fact still remains that Ohio
University is not in compliance with
Title IX, equal funding. Title IX set its
deadline for compliance in 1978, but
many colleges and universities,
including OU. have not yet met its
requirements. Those requirements
include equal funding for men's and
women's sports, which should be
distributed through the programs in
ways beneficial to them.
But because OU is not in
compliance with Title IX requir-
ements, many disadvantages have
hovered over the women. Even
though assistant coaches are now a
part of women's athletics at Ohio,
not one of them receives a paycheck
for his or her time spent helping the
team.
The women's budget has been
increased, but equipment and
facilities are still rather poor. Many
female athletes must share cleated
shoes for various sports and some
uniforms are used for more than one
sport.
But the university maintains it is
working toward compliance with
Title IX. It has formed a title IX
Committee to work out the prob-
lems and grievances associated
with Title IX. But more than a year
after its inception, the Title IX
Committee has done little but make
a name for itself.

Whether they're experiencing the agony of defeat or the thrill
of victory, women athletes usually experience it alone —
without fans.

The Home-economics Department and its students made the jump from the College of Education.
The College of Health and Human Services
was born this fall amidst much controversy over
whether or not it was even needed. All the schools
presently in it already existed under different
colleges. The Center for Human Development, the
School of Hearing and Speech Sciences, and the
School of Health. Physical Education and
Recreation compose the college now, and the
School of Nursing will be officially added July
1980.
The dean. Dr. Hilda Richards is the first black
person to become dean of a college other than
Afro-American Studies at OU. She is also the only
woman dean here.
The Ohio University Affiliated Center for
Human Development provides services to the
community, does research and is a training ground
for students in dealing with people who have
developmental disabilities or are mentally or
physically handicapped.
There are five satellite-centers serving 17
Southeastern Ohio counties. Coordinator for
Community Relations. Judy Ball said. "It is
important to look at the total person and to avoid
fragmentation. The emphasis is that they are
people first; people who happen to have problems,
and can function better than most feel they can."
Last year over 250 students experienced more

than a day's time and 32 spent from 300 to 500
hours in the program. Athens Day Living Center
is part of the program which helps the
handicapped with constructive activities.
The School of Hearing and Speech Sciences is
clinically oriented. It is a training program for
people going into school or clinical therapy. The
master and Ph.D programs feature pathology and
audiology studies outside the public school.
The School of Health, Physical Education and
Recreation has programs in health services,
environmental health science and recreation
studies. The school operates the physical education
activity program which allows students to choose
activities ranging from scuba diving to yoga to
belly dancing. The school is also responsible for
intramural and club sports.
The School of Home Economics offers 18
different bachelor degrees. The programs deal
with basic human needs and interpersonal
relationships. Problems of human welfare such as
nutrition and health are just two subjects dealt
with in several specialized areas. The School of
Nursing offers bachelor programs for nurses and
also provides an educational base for graduate
study leading to careers as clinicians, teachers,
administrators or researchers.

During registration, the basketball floor is covered with carpeting, which in turn, is covered with students.
Pre-college. academic advising, closed classes
and add-drop slips. What do these have in common?
They are all a part of the registration procedures
that take place at OU.
While registration for some may be a relatively
smooth, orderly procedure, for others it is enough to
cause migraine headaches.
Closed classes seem to be the primary problem
involved in registration, and many underclassmen
become experts in juggling schedules. Academic
advisers assigned to students attempt to eliminate
proposed schedules for accuracy in call numbers,
required courses and credits.
Filling out the schedule and turning it in to
Chubb Hall is a minor step, for missing the payment
deadline results in no classes, no housing and no meal
plan.
Consequently, students in such a predicament
find themselves having to register all over
again — through lines for housing in Chubb and
classes at the Convo. Despite setbacks and %
repeatedly being told, "I'm sorry, but you're in the«
wrong line." all manage to survive registration. 2

Alden library teaming with life on a Friday
night? No lines at the bars uptown? Where is the
student population of Ohio University?
This scene is familiar on campus as the
quarters change from fall into winter into spring,
and finals week descends upon the student
enrollment at OU.
Everyone's social life screeches to a halt in
mid-swing as studying becomes an integral part of
students' lives during the five days composing
finals week; from the inexperienced freshmen to
the time-hardened seniors and graduate
assistants.
As finals week begins to take its toll and 24
Hour Quiet Hours become imposed in many of the
dorms on campus, whispered comments including,
"I should have dropped zoology at the beginning of
the quarter!". "I'm going to flunk out." and "Oh,
no ... "
Extended library hours, both at Alden and the
Green libraries, enable students to cram in peace
and quiet, as they all strive toward the common
goal of making the grade.
Students burn the midnight oil and make their
way, bleary eyed from too many all-nighters,
coffee, and No-Doz. to their exams, only to emerge
depressed, jubilant, or uncertain from each two
hour final.
During the last week of the quarter, virtually everyone dedicates themselves to their books, either individually,
or in groups, like Barb Williamson, Carol Mix, Lana Gaskalla and Andrea Thatcher.

Arts & Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences is composed
of 19 departments in Humanities, Social Sciences
and Natural Sciences. Assistant Dean of Student
Affairs William Jones said that the college is the
academic cornerstone of the university because it
offers courses that most students need.
"Taking a liberal arts program helps free the
mind from prejudices and hatred, giving one a
better perception of the world, recognizing
accomplishments and relative strengths, striving
to make the world a better place to live." he added.
Jones explained that two-year technical
programs focus on a career first, where the
students are trained but remain basically
uneducated. The liberal arts curriculums place the
first value on education and the second on a career.
There are 28 programs and more are being
developed with curriculums that gear toward
specialized jobs by mixing classes together
effectively. Many prepare students for graduate
study.
Despite all the criticism of liberal arts
programs, the college did a survey of 70 American
businesses and found that they still do hire liberal
arts majors. When asked if a liberal arts program
coupled with a formal business minor would be a
good curriculum, the positive response was
overwhelming. That program started in 1976 and
has been very successful.
Arts and Sciences covers a range of disciplines varying Irom Chemistry (above) to English to provide a liberal education.

The College of Education came out of last
year's turmoil with a new dean, a new look and
plans for revamping much of the curriculum, but
may be more stable than it has been in a long while.
Last year, controversy stripped the college of
its dean. Sam Goldman, and a new college stripped
it of the schools of health, physical education and
recreation and home economics, as well as $77,000
in funds.
But in July, Dr. Allen Myers took over as dean
and soon announced that the college was back on
pretty solid ground. Under the Ohio Teacher
Redesign Program, however, the college has
continued to change.
"I'm especially fortunate to be here at a time
when there's so much positive ferment going on
about developing quality programs for the
teaching profession." Myers said in an interview
last fall.
The new programs include an Educational
Media Program and a Guidance and Counseling
Program. Plans are underway for a program for
the talented and gifted, and an expansion of the
Multicultural and Bilingual Education Program.
In addition, the Department of Economic
Education has been moved from the College of
Business Administration to the College of
Education.
Other possible developments include estab-
lishing a Career and Life Planning Center and 2
re-establishing the old Center for Educational |
Research and Service, which was eliminated in 3
1974. S

Osteopathic Medicine
Barb Girz is one of 148 students of Osteopathic Medicine at Ohio University.
The rapidly-growing College of Osteopathic
Medicine, bloomed in the spring as it graduated 21
doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, the first in Ohio
history.
These doctors will serve one-year internships
in various osteopathic and military hospitals
before opening up their own practices as family
physicians.
"The college was created by the Ohio General
Assembly in 1975 to educate family physicians to
work in medically underserved parts of the state."
said the college's dean. Frank Myers. D.O. "It is
our mission to train osteopathic physicians who
will choose to become and remain specialists in
family practice in those areas without adequate
numbers or physicians."
In order to prepare students for practicing in
rural areas, the school plans to open as many as 4
health-care clinics in rural parts of southeastern
Ohio. One such clinic was opened in Nelsonville in
September, and the two physicians saw nearly 400
patients in the first two months, with students
providing back-up work. Another clinic was
scheduled to open in Coolville in late spring.
Meanwhile, the college received $175,000 for
the year to conduct research in geriatrics and to
integrate the problems of aging into its
curriculum. The college also obtained an $85,000
"ultra sound machine" which uses sound instead of
x-rays to safely produce images of an unborn child
so that its progress and condition can be
determined before birth.
The campus itself has also grown. The $7.5
million renovation of Irvine Hall as the college's
second building was nearly complete, and much of
the building was opened as offices and classrooms.
Parks Hall was also added, unofficially, to the
college and may soon be taken over completely to
house the Medical Service Clinics now located in
the basement of Grosvenor Hall.
In the winter it was announced that the
incoming class would be increased from 48 to 72 „
students, and the college was well on its way to a |
projected capacity of about 500 students, in Ohio's n
first and only college of osteopathic medicine. &

Since February. 1969. Alden Library has been
the place to go to study or do research. More than
a decade later, Alden is still "the place" but it has
other uses.
Junior Cindy Parker comments. "People
definitely go to the library to socialize, especially
during finals week, it's packed, so it's easy to meet
someone." Karen Zando, senior, agrees socializing
is common. "I don't go often because I see too many
old friends and don't get any work done."
The library is also used to pass time between
classes so a student doesn't have to walk back to
his or her dorm room. The library's snack room
supplies food to keep one going from class to class.
Alden has stockpiles of current newspapers from
everyone's hometown (well, almost), and
magazines.
"I go to sleep sometimes — it's quiet," says
senior Purnee Murdock.
For some students, using the library is a
requirement. Freshmen trainees, for example,
must study weeknights for two hours. Some

fraternities and sororities require pledges to go to
Alden for study tables weekly.
The Student Development Center is utilized
by students who want to brush up or need help on
a particular subject. Movies shown in classes can
be viewed there.
The library has many meeting rooms that can
be used by different groups. Some classes are
taught, and cultural activities such as poetry
readings or music recitals go on.
And then, there are the 78 full-time employees
who go to Alden to earn a living, and a large
number of work-study and part-time students are
employed there. -

Business
Administration
This year the College of Business Administra-
tion expanded its curriculum by opening the
decade with a new major area of study and student
organization to go with it.
The new field of study, called personnel and
industrial relations, is designed to prepare
students for careers in personnel working with and
for unions and companies in mediating relations.
The American Society of Personnel Administration
elected the first officers in 1979-80.
"This new area gives them (the students)
more options in career choices — a more specific
area of concentration," said Dr. John Stinson,
acting dean of the college and management
department chairman.
Along with these new concepts of study, there
are also the old standbys. The three sequences
within the Business College — Accounting and
Quantitative Methods, Administrative Sciences,
and Management — provide students with career
possibilities in finance, general business,
management, marketing. production man-
agement, business pre-law and the perennial
favorite, quantitative methods, which deals with
data processing and statistics.
The College of Business Administration is also
selecting an outstanding faculty person to fill an
endowed chair in the banking department. New
faces and changes seem to be the order of the
decade.
108
The Business Administration College sponsors an annual Career Day in which students listen to professionals lecture
on their respective fields.
More and more women, like Vicki Laferty, are entering the College of Engineering and Technology.
The very nature of the field of engineering
and technology demands change, and because of
this, the College of Engineering and Technology
tries to install in its students the desire to
continue learning and to keep up with the
constant changes in the field.
"They have to realize that their learning is
not good forever; it has to be continually
updated," Dean Richard Mayer said.
In addition, the college is trying to get
students practical experience before gradua-
tion. One way of doing this is the cooperative
education program that it is getting involved in.
Under this program, students work away from
school in their field for three quarters during
their junior or senior year, and turn their college
education into a five year experience.
But this program, and the college's
increasing enrollment have put an extra burden
on the faculty. The addition of new positions
funded by the university and two endowed chairs
funded by the $7.5 million gift of the late Paul
Stocker has eased the situation, but Mayer said
that new faculty members are still needed.
The college is sponsoring research in
several areas of coal mining, airplane safety,
solar energy and traffic safety. Mayer believes
that these projects and other research will soon
draw national recognition.
"With the Stocker funding and the new
(proposed) building," Mayer said, "The decade
of the eighties will be great for the college."

The ROTC classroom is often lound outdoors, sometimes in tight places.

Air Force cadet, Patric Jolly, in uniform.
"Hut. two three, four!" The mocking goes on
behind their backs, sometimes directly to their faces,
but they don't let it bother them; they can't. There
was a time when students in the Air Force and Army
ROTC commanded respect. But since Vietnam,
popular sentiment has turned from the military, and
students participating in ROTC undeservingly catch
the flack.
"You get a few people that say 'warmonger' and
things, but you have to brush that off." Bruce
Rienstra, a student in Army ROTC said. "You have
to remember they don't know what they're talking
about."
Many of the ROTC classes such as map reading
and orienteering are opened to all students, with no
obligations. In this class a student must find his way
out of an unfamiliar woods with just a map and a
compass.
"We pride ourselves that we don't force anyone
into the program." said Maj. Eric Jungkind. "If they
want to be here, we're glad. But if they don't, we
don't force anyone into the program."
Students can participate in ROTC during their
freshman and sophomore years with no obligation.
Those who continue can receive $100 per month
while participating and graduate with a commitment
to serve in the Army or Air Force, the national guard
or the reserves for up to six years.
In spite of their military lifestyles, ROTC
students remain students. "ROTC people know how
to have a good time and party and everything," said
Barbara Stewart, of Army ROTC.
Rienstra agreed. "It's a job most people don't
understand."

Fine Arts
Though only one of nine colleges at OU, the
College of Fine Arts supplies much of the culture
for Athens. Besides concentrating on developing
serious artists, musicians, dancers and actors, the
college provides students of every major with a
creative outlet.
Each year about 400 undergraduates and 70
graduate students take classes in painting,
ceramics, glass, fibers, sculpture and any of the
other twelve areas of study. The school boasts one
of the oldest and finest photography programs in
the country. It offers the community a Visiting
Lecture Series of nationally-known artists as well
as a look at student work in many gallery exhibits
across campus.
The School of Music emphasizes private
instruction and small classes for students who pass
the initial audition. Their main goal is to train
professional musicians. However, the majority of
graduates go into teaching. Several musical
organizations give students the opportunity to
perform as well as exposing the entire community
to everything from opera to jazz.
Even though admission to the School of Dance
is only through audition, all students can enjoy the
activities that go on in Putnam Hall. Guest faculty
and visiting artists perform numerous concerts
throughout the year. And. students go on from
choreographing local productions to dancing in
regional and national dance companies.
Theater majors work on two different stages
toward their goal of becoming professional actors.
During the summer the school produces shows at
local Ohio Valley Summer Theaters as well as the
Monomoy Theater in Massachusetts. Currently
plans are in the making for a touring project so -
that students can perform their best work across !
the U.S. J
Art classes are among the most popular in the university.

Communications students have the opportunity to participate in the production of radio and television shows, as
well as several campus publications.
Imagine being a senior in high school again
and wishing to further a career in communica-
tions. You apply at Ohio University, you are
accepted, and now you must choose which field
of communication you would like to pursue: OU
offers journalism, interpersonal communication,
visual communication and radio-television.
If you decide on journalism, you have chosen
to become one of approximately 800 students
also wanting a career in that field. You associate
yourself with one of five sequences leading to a
journalism degree: advertising, magazine
journalism, news writing and editing, public
relations or radio-TV news.
Perhaps you would like to study inter-
personal communication, better known as InCo.
The InCo major concentrates on one of three
sequences: organizational communication,
general speech, or general communication. One
major aspect of the school of communication is
the forensics program, which is a nationally-
recognized debate team.
One of the nation's best-known college
broadcast stations, WOUB, is the main element
of the school of radio-TV. If you have
broadcasting or production ambitions, then you
would probably choose one of the three s
sequences: professional broadcast production, 5
professional broadcast administration, or «
comprehensive study in radio-TV. Z

The Honors Tutorial College expanded to
include 21 fields of study for the gifted student to
choose from. The college, which is the only one in
the United States that offers degrees through a
tutorial system, sets a student up in a one-on-one
situation with a faculty member to design and
administer an independant study program.
In order to graduate, students must satisfy
departmental requirements which generally
consist of passing a set of comprehensive
examinations and showing competency in required
fields of study. It is possible for students to
graduate in two or three years, and more than 90
percent of the college's graduates go on to
graduate or professional schools.
This year several students have also started
a tutoring program for gifted children in the
Federal Hocking School District, and plans are
underway to expand this to other local school
districts.
"We've had some people who've gotten a
tremendous amount out of the program," said Dr.
Peter Griffiths, a chemistry tutor. "But some
struggle from the word go. It's demanding; not
everyone can learn in the tutorial program."
It also is demanding of the professors
involved. "We have to be awake," said Dr. John
Mitchell, of botany. "We have to be aware of the
fact that they are better than the average student.
They do their own research, so we have to keep on §
top of things. When they come up with their own *
ideas, we have to be prepared to defend ours." 8
Students in Honors Tutorial College take advanced courses. Joe Foresthotter speaks to Dr. Margaret Cohn about them.
114
One of the key purposes of University College is to help familiarize students with a variety of study fields, as Betty
Hallow is doing with Robert Tucker.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of
two programs originated in the University
College.
The Bachelor of General Studies program,
begun in the fall of 1969. allows students to
create their own areas of study in accordance
with individual interests and talents.
"The program is for people who know what
they want to study, but in an area we don't have
a major in," said Dr. Don Flourney, Dean of the
University College.
The program was only the second of its kind
in the nation and recent graduates have received
degrees in specialized areas such as aviation
management and electronic music.
The University Professor's program, is
described by Flourney as still a "good and strong
program."
Each year, on the basis of campus-wide
nominations and committee approval, anywhere
from one to ten professors are cited for
outstanding undergraduate teaching.
"The program is one of my favorites because
it is student initiated and student run," said
Flourney.
As for innovations, a course entitled
University Experience was added to the college's
curriculum this year. The course, geared toward
entering freshmen, emphasizes solutions to
problems that might interfere with a new
student's success in college. Topics include study
skills and career exploration.

Adjusting to a small dorm room
that doesn't have all the comforts of
home may not sound ideal, but living
in a dorm offers a great deal more to
make up for it.
There are problems, though. For
many freshmen it is the first time on
their own and they have to learn to
cope with laundry, studies, money and
increased freedom. Freshmen men
are notorious for this. "It gets a little
crazy." said Crawford Hall freshman
Marty Hancock. "People have had
hockey games in the corridors, and
busted beer bottles against the wall."
Freshmen women's problems usually
center around roommates. They tend
to request roommate changes
frequently.
All dorm residents do face
similar problems. Probably the most
common complaint is noise. While
some are trying to study or sleep,
others are playing their stereos or
having parties.
Many dorm residents would like
to cook in their rooms as an
alternative to cafeteria food. Re-
sidents in James Hall had a special
Right — Popcorn poppers, being used here

problem with not being able to use the
overcrowded Boyd cafeteria during
peak hours.
Having to share a bathroom,
television and lounge with others
poses difficulties for dorm residents.
"You're living in a community," said
Len Wagner, an RA in Dougan House.
"You must accept things you're not
used to, just like in a family. This has
positive and negative aspects."
The positive aspects of dorm life
are too often ignored by many people.
"Living in a dorm has really helped
me grow," sophomore Russ Grycza
said. "I've met a lot of friends I never
would have had the chance to meet
outside the dorms. Also for many it is
a chance to get away from home and
really make it on your own, without
the restraints and help of parents. It's
a make or break situation."
The activities planned and
unplanned are some of the best parts
of dorm life. Many times they are
unplanned. "A lot of times we'll get
three or four girls together in a room
and we'll talk about anything under

the sun," said Cristine Armstrong, a
freshman in Boyd. Late nights
playing cards and eating pizza with
friends are common.
Weekend parties with beer, pizza
and music are always popular. Many
times they are built around themes
such as beach or slumber parties.
The Boyd Hall resident assis-
tants sponsored an unusual surprise
party. They wrote home to all the
residents' parents asking them to
send their daughter a gift addressed
to the students' RA. On Valentine's
Day they held a party for the whole
dorm and surprised the residents with
their parents' gifts.
In their junior year many
students decide to move out of the
dorms. Most of these students
remember with some happiness their
experience of living in a dorm. For »
many, like Wagner, "nothing else I
captures the spirit of living in a°
dorm." *

It Really Works!
Newcomers who are required to live in the dorms may
be glad to know that there are special counselors trained to
help them with any problems. These are the students and
administrators involved in the Residence Life system.
Resident Assistants tend to become good friends with
most of the students in their floor sections, according to
Laurie Merriman. an RA in Johnson Hall. Merriman said
that this situation is helped by the way OU's Residence Life
system is set up — one RA to every 25 freshmen and one to
every 35 upperclassmen.
"These ratios differ from those of larger universities
where it would be harder to establish lasting friendships."
Merriman said. "OU's size is just right for that sort of thing,
as well as in the sense of being an RA, too."
Residence Life sponsors many acitvities for the dorms,
j ranging from workshops and informational presentations to
i lounge movies and parties.
• "Meeting the needs of the students within limit is the
" most important aspect of Residence Life," Merriman said.

Do you ever get a nervous "I
think someone's watching me'" feeling
while walking alone at night?
The university escort service is
there to help, offering protection for
women or anyone for that matter, who
doesn't wish to walk alone at night.
"A lot of girls are a little touchy
about being out (at night)" commen-
ted Robert Guinn. director of
security.
Guinn feels there are particular
areas of campus where it is not wise
for women to be walking alone, citing
the area south of Bird Arena as one
example.
He believes the use of an escort
service is a prudent idea.
"There are some (assaults), so it
does serve the purpose," he said. "If
it only prevents one assault, then it
makes my job easier."
The service is under the direction
of the Student Senate, with Associate
Dean of Students Joel Rudy acting as
adviser.
Chief coordinator of the service,
senate member Lisa Lightfoot,
resigned her position this year, and a
successor has yet to be named.
The service is available to any
student who feels the need, and as
Guinn adds. "It's a good service even
if it offers nothing more than peace of
mind."
Armed with a radio and a flashlight, an escort team stands ready. Certain areas ot campus admittedly pose a risk late at night.

Pauline has found that when she puts a little extra shine on things, students are grateful.
pleam./^limmer&ohine
The housekeeper grabbed the
student, pressed a card into his hand
and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Happy birthday, Jeff," she said.
For the residents of Gamerts-
felder Hall, and for Pauline Pauley,
the housekeeper for half of Gam's
second, third and fourth floors, the
scene was not unusual. Pauley is one
of a number of housekeepers working
in the dorms who manages to make
her job more than just cleaning floors,
lounges and bathrooms. And when the
relationship between housekeepers
and students becomes more than just
professional, everyone seems to
benefit.
"These kids are just like my
own," Pauley said. "They come to me
every now and then and I help them
any way I can. I think it's better if you
try to do little things for them that
you maybe could pass up. I like to keep
it nice and clean for them, because
they keep it that way."
And the students often return
the favors. She received several cards
and two boxes of candy for Valentine's
Day and usually gets flowers from
students on her birthday.
"I've never seen a student I
didn't like," Pauley said. "They grow
on you."

Betsy William* it often the only woman in the weightroom, but that doesn't bother her.
otrengthT^ordlnrhings
She looks out of place, sitting
there pumping weights and sweating
like all the guys in their half-T-shirts
and shorts. Never mind that Betsy
Williams only has one arm, she's a
woman.
But she's a woman who believes in
herself; and she believes that physical
fitness has given her the confidence
she needs to maintain her lifestyle.
"I feel like I'm more here,"
Williams said. "I feel more confident,
like I can do things that I wouldn't do
before."
"Most girls won't work out
because they don't want to get big and
muscular. There's no way I can get
big. I don't have the hormones."
Williams said. "You can get thin by
not eating and still be flabby. The
women in the fashion magazines all
work out."
But Williams does not lift weights
to be in a fashion magazine. She feels
the confidence she gets from it helps
her relax, read and paint. And she
insists that she couldn't really have
fun without being strong. When she's
not at Grover or painting — she's a
painting major — she likes to
backpack, swim, ride horses, travel or
do yoga. In the spring she's going to
take up belly dancing and get a
bicycle. Strength, she said, makes all
of these more enjoyable.
"It's a natural thing for humans
to put a lot of tension into their bodies.
If you get strong, just spend that
three hours a week working out, you
can get rid of those tensions," she
said. "After working out, and after
the sauna, it's better than a fifth of
whiskey; you just feel so relaxed."
Having only one arm has always
made it difficult for Williams to
strengthen the left side of her body,
but it doesn't stop her. In fact, in a
way she feels it has helped her. She
feels that one reason women don't
come to the weight room is the looks
they get from men.
"It's kind of intimidating. I guess
I'm used to being stared at; it doesn't
bother me," she said.

A naked lightbulb on the ceiling
spreads its glare to reveal bare
cinder-block walls to a frightened
freshman. The seed of disenchant-
ment is planted. Through the
following two years it is nurtured by
a growing hatred of cafeteria food,
rebellion against dormitory regula-
tions, disgust with noise, impatience
with the quarrels of fellow residents
("they're all so immature"), despair
of help from maintenance and a long
list of hassles with Chubb Hall. When
the time comes to choose a home for
junior year, the tree of discontent is
sturdy enough to climb and tall
enough to see all of Athens.
Sophomores, many nervous about
opposition from parents at this
independent move, begin inquiring
about possibilities for apartments and
houses early. The offices at Lakeview
and College Inn begin to handle a flow
of questions, landlords answer their
phones and recite time and again
their list of properties and prices.
Small groups convene to discuss who
will live with whom and where they
can afford to live.
The options are diverse. Both
small-time and big-time landlords

each day to attend classes. The home
in the country gives them quiet and
isolation, but removes them from the
conveniences of being near school and
uptown. Others look into apartments
located above the Eatery, the
Junction or some other establishment
to maximize convenience, but lose all
sense of quiet and isolation. The
spectrum between these two extremes
is complete. A house in the Old West
End or down Lancaster Street
provides some quiet yet is still within
walking distance of the campus.
Apartments in the College Inn or
Lakeview put a student on top of
things, but provide not much more
privacy than dorms. The Mill Street
apartment complex nestles itself back
along the Hocking River, only a few
blocks from campus.

Employees at Kroger's and Super
Duper marvel at the variety of
purchases made and the amount of
discussion each decision requires.
Shoppers marvel at the way the
budget fails to cover expenses —
already.
Sooner or later, though, things
become settled. Not exactly as
planned, but livable. The meals aren't
as good as expected, but they beat the
dorm food. Neighbors are still noisy,
but it's more bearable somehow.
Housemates bicker at 21 just as room
mates did at 18, but the topics are
much more substantial, of course.
Landlords aren't any better than OU

Ever wished you'd just left the old
Chevy at home?
Any student with a car on campus
can probably tell you about the
irritations involved.
With an estimated 3,000 vehicles
registered to OU students, one of the
major gripes is simply finding some-
place to park.
"Garage space is a problem. There
aren't nearly enough spaces to accom-
modate the dorm residents who have
cars." reports Robert Guinn, OU
Security Director.
Those bolder students who choose
to leave their cars in unauthorized
areas can tell you that the University is
not the least bit hesitant to have
vehicles towed away.
Towing fees range from $15 to $20
depending on which towing service nabs
your car.
An employee of Ace High Towing
Service puts it best, "We'll tow away
anything. We'll take a police cruiser if
they tell us to."
Getting tickets for violations is
another hazard. Guinn estimates 30,000
citations are given out each year on
campus. Fines range from $3 to $10,
depending on the violation. If you
haven't already, chances are that |
someday you'll find one or more of those »

It seems as if almost anywhere is the wrong
place to park, and could bring trouble.

Surely everyone has heard the
phrase "stop, look and listen" before.
But it seems that when students get to
Ohio University they forget this
advice. Despite the crosswalks with
don't walk neon signs, they go their
own way.
Students cross streets where they
please, and the cars yield not only at
intersections, but at any given point,
particulary uptown.
Is this an offense in Athens? "Of
course." reported a police spokesman.
"Jaywalking is an offense in any city,
except maybe in very small hick
towns."
But do police ticket offenders?
Fortunately, no. According to Athens '
police, it depends upon the police
officer, but observation would tell you
that no one seems to care. i

SERA - TEC
Money is the main reason
students sell their plasma to Sera-Tec
Biologies, an FDA licensed chain
located primarily in college towns.
"Everybody needs money all the
time," said one student.
Of the 1.000 donors per month at
Sera-Tec, about 90% of them are
students, according to the manager,
Bruce Hecht. Their plasma is sold to
pharmaceutical companies for fur-
ther manufacturing and packaging.
Most students come regularly at
first. Participation, however, drops
off from the maximum of twice a week
to just when students need money —
maybe twice a month.
"A wide variety of students come
to Sera-Tec," said Hecht. There is no
special type of student who gives
plasma. "It's mostly males, but the
ratio can be 50-50." he said. No
student is refused if he can pass the
various physical and blood tests given
by the Sera-Tec lab personnel."
Courteous, friendly and helpful
describes the atmosphere at Sera-Tec
for most students. "The staff are just
real people. They just joke around like
everyone else," said a student.
Strict rules and regulations must
be followed though. "This is not a
free-lance operation," said Hecht. "I
don't think most students realize that
we are licenced and inspected by the
FDA."

not, students using Sera-Tec as a form

Are you ill at ease with other
people and do you find it hard to talk
about things? Do you feel your mind is
a complete blank and you never know
what to do? Are you undecided about
a major? Do you panic during exams?
These and similar questions
bother most students during their
college years and often can't be
answered without some guidance.
The Counseling and Psychologi-
cal Services Center located on the
third floor of Hudson Health Center
offer career, educational, personal
counseling, and an occupational
library for graduate and undergra-
duate students seeking some answers.
Most students are afraid of
confronting psychological "Houdinis"
with their problems, minor or
complex.
"They have wrong ideas about
mental health," explains Dr. Jan
Gill-Wigal, one of nine psychologists
on the staff. "Admitting something is
wrong or saying 'I have a problem' is
not accepted among people. Everyone
wants to be considered normal."
Most counseling is done for
problems everyone has at one time or
another, such as stress, depression,
unsatisfactory relationships, and
sexual concerns. Sometimes these
problems occur together and can lead
to other problems.
While most students come for
"personal adjustment counseling,"
these problems can be inter-related
with educational or career problems,
such as failing grades, poor study
habits, and lack of motivation to
study. Some students may want
guidance in choosing a major or a
future occupation.
The center offers counseling on a
one-to-one basis and group therapy
sessions. These bring together 10-12
students who are unassertive or too
aggressive with others in group
situations. This helps them to
overcome fears and feel more
comfortable.
Although counseling doesn't help
everyone, the staff members believe
most students leave a session or series
of sessions feeling better about
themselves and are able to come with
school and personal problems.
"There is enrichment and
problem-solving in the counseling,"
says Gill-Wigal, "and it's exciting to
watch people look at themselves."

Blacks, feminists, gays and
coalitions against world hunger or the
military draft. No, this is not a list of
activists from the sixties, but
programs currently working for
social change at United Campus
Ministry.
"There are misconceptions about
the UCM is and what it does," says the
Rev. Jan Griesinger. a member of the
staff which includes the Rev. Wayland
Melton and Carol Kuhre. "Students
hear about gay people or feminists
meeting here a lot, so they tend to
identify UCM with only those groups.
But UCM has programs that include
all people and all ideas."
There is also a misunderstanding
about the role of the church since
Christianity is usually identified with
having good personal morals and
attending church every Sunday.
But Christianity is also a religion
of faith and political involvement,"
says Griesinger. "It has to do with the
status quo and why society deals with
people the way it does."
UMC feels it is their role to get
involved in political and social issues
as advocates for people who are
discriminated against or abused,
sexually, racially or politically. To
deal with such cases, they use a
continuous three-step process to
establish the cause of a problem, study
it, and effect a change.
Recent changes have been made
involving women's study courses at
Ohio University, a Black Student
union and a Gay People's Alliance. An
awareness of the hunger problem in
Cambodia and South America has
been fostered by the Coalition Against
World Hunger. People for Peace are
calling for nuclear disarmament and
opposing the return of the draft. £
"The people who are a part of the 3
problem are the ones that will solve 2
it." Griesinger said.

Each day. Ohio University
students eagerly scan the classifieds
in THE POST, looking for a ride
upstate, a personal message, or maybe
a place to live. And then they come
across two lines: "Bring Jesus into
your life come to our fellowship this
Friday night." There are similar
messages scattered all over the page.
At the bottom of each ad is the
name of a Christian organization, one
of 16 with over 400 members among
them — as large as a minority group
on campus — yet no one seems to hear
of these "Born Again Christian"
students.
This latest renewal of interest in
the student Christian movement has
been growing steadily since the
mid-seventies when there were only a
few groups active. Yet these students,
their groups, their religion, and even
the phenomenon itself are still
misunderstood by most people.
They are part of a new genera-
tion of students emerging after the
anti-war era, a generation more
concerned about their grades in
response to economic recessions and
the poor job market for many
graduates. While most students were
concentrating on finding careers,
these students looked to more
traditional values such as religion.
"Today, young people are going
to college and the core ethical
questions, such as the nature of our
reality, of good versus evil, and of
justice, have never been more
pronounced," explains the Rev. E.
Frances Morgan, pastor of the Good
Shepard Episcopal Church.
Part of their attraction comes by
fulfilling some basic needs that are
locked in their lives, says Barb
Walker, a student leader in River of
Life Ministries, one of the largest
fellowship groups. Some of these needs
are safety, self-esteem, a sense of
belonging, and a chance for personal
growth.
The groups themselves are
different from one another in
character as they are different from
the traditional church. Each group
has its own personality that attracts
different individuals to its own
particular style. Some groups, such as
the River of Life or the Christian
Student Fellowship meet once a week
to pray, sing hymns, and study
scripture from the Bible. Others like
Campus Crusade for Christ or
Inter-Varsity that believe in more
intensive study of the Bible and
evangelical work, belong to nation-
wide organizations involved with
fund-raising and national confer-
ences.
The Christian students believe
they are finding many of their
questions and needs answered
through fellowship. They have
experienced an attitude change, they
say, an attitude change which gives
them the motivation to deal with the
same problems which had earlier
confused them.
"We are growing from the center
outward." says a member of the
Christian Student Fellowship. "We're
sure of ourselves now, and we can use
136
the Bible to cite why."
"The biggest question Christian
students still ask however," says Dr.
Rebecca Propst. an OU psychology
professor and adviser to River of Life,
"is, 'How are we to be different from
the rest of the world?' As the students
learn more about the social aspects of
their faith, they will become more
politically concerned."
River of Life Ministries Friday Night
Fellowship is one of the largest Christian
fellowships on campus.
Members often express intense spiritual
experiences, as does Craig Gambreo.

Whether it be making pizzas,
delivering them, working in the
cafeterias or creating the advertising
for university activities, many job
opportunities are available on and off
campus.
The Office of Student Employ-
ment and Financial Aid serves as a
referral for employment. All potential
job openings are posted regularly and
remain posted for at least three days
in the office located on the ground
floor of Chubb Hall.
Work-Study programs are an
intregal part of student employment.
Work-Study tries to correlate a
student's major and current job
openings.
Kathy Romanin, a freshman
journalism major here, is employed by
the Work-Study program in the
Graphics Department. "We work on
the graphics and advertising of
promoting different activities that
occur on campus and in the city of
Athens,*' Romanin said. "I have some
experience in art, and the Work-
Study program tries to assign
students to departments which make
the best of their talents."
Available jobs include office work
in various college departments. Such
jobs develop clerical skills and allow
students to grasp vital experience in
their prospective field. Or, a student
may work at Baker Center, the library
or campus cafeterias.
Of course all majors can't be
correlated with each job, but the jobs
still help. Mary Klaus, a sophomore in
electrical engineering said, "Student
Employment is really good at getting
you a job if you really need one. They
offer you a variety of jobs." She
continued, "It's much more conven-
ient working on campus, mainly
because it is closer and it is nice to
work with fellow OU students. It's
another opportunity to meet people.
They'll put me anywhere from serving
on the line to working in the dish
room. It's pretty enjoyable, the
relations you build with the older,
permanent workers."
Most students have to renew
their job every quarter, similar to a
job bid. The student presently holding
the job has first priority, while past
performance is considered.
Minimum wage is the standard
pay for on-campus work, although a
department may pay a student more.
Off-campus work boasts an
abundant array of jobs. Jobs such as
deliverymen, bouncers, cashiers and
stock boys are some types available.
The Office Of Student Employ-
ment only monitors on-campus
employment, but it does encourage
off -campus employers to hire students
part-time.
As far as the occupation outlook
once a student leaves OU, the Office of
Career Planning and Placement
offers guidance and advice.
Work study and university jobs may put a studant to work at the Learning Resources Center
or the Frontier Room.

Several of the bars draw a pretty good day-time crowd, especially for Happy Hour.
OU is not a party school; OU is
THE party school, according to
many T-shirts and bumper
stickers.
It is no secret that OU has
been labelled by students and
others as a top-rate party school.
This reputation seems to have
taken root in the sixties when the
anti-war movement was in full
force. OU became notorious for
active demonstrations and invol-
vement which still continues in a
near-annual spring riot. The sixties
was also a time when the new
morality movement, characterized
by drugs, sex, and rock'n'roll
became the focus of many cam-
puses. Ohio University was cer-
tainly no exception. Then in the
early seventies, PLAYBOY
magazine declared Ohio Universi-
ty the top party school in the
country. Earlier this year, NUT-
SHELL magazine added to the
reputation by listing Ohio Univer-
sity's Halloween celebration as
one of the top ten collegiate
parties in the country.
But is the reputation de-
served? Certainly few schools
OU's size have as many bars near

campus. The counts vary, but
there are at least 27 bars in Athens,
most ol which are located in the
uptown area.
And certainly Ohio University
has its share of parties. Although
Halloween is the most celebrated
event, there are many other
unusual parties. Among these
have been a Hurricane David party,
the Rev. Jimmy Jones party, a
Three-Mile Island party, a wake
party honoring the death of a
spider which lived in the College
Inn for a quarter. There are parties
celebrating the beginning of a new
quarter, the end of midterms and
of course, the end of finals and the
quarter. But most often, no reason
is needed for parties; they could
happen anytime or anywhere on or
off campus.
But perhaps the real key to the
reputation is the uptown area. Bars
open in the morning for those who
drink their orange juice with a little
twist, stay open in the afternoon
for students to relax in between
classes, and drive into the night to
help one sleep more comfortably
in preparing for a rough class
schedule the next day.
And the weekends begin on
Thursday night. Whether the bars

But perhaps Ohio University is
like any other school. Since the
image exists, students like to
exploit it. Some like the feeling of
telling friends at home they attend
a party school, but most never
forget they're here for a degree. In
spite of the overtness of the |
partying, it still appears to be a £
minor force in a student's life, and !
an optional one at that. 1

In on* ol the last of the big act*, Billy Joal rocked the Convocation Cantor in the apring.
Foreigner drew just 6,800 people, well below Ihe 9,600 capacity proposed later lor the Convo.
The concert season in Athens
began in big fashion with four
big-name rock and roil bands
coming to the Convocation Center
in the fall. But financial losses and
a re-arranging of seating in the
Convo caused the Pop Concert
Committee to change its style in
the winter, and smaller acts began
coming to town.
Styx performed the first and
most widely attended concert of
the season. The band combined
such old favorites as "Come Sail
Away", "Renegade", and their
encore number "Miss America"
with several songs from their
latest album, Cornerstone. Their
dazzling light show plus individual
performances by John Panozzo on
drums and Tommy Shaw on guitar
highlighted this homecoming
weekend attraction.
Four weeks later, another
Convo Concert featured Kansas. A
lackluster performance by the
band was made worse by their
inability to use their laser light
show. Jimmy Matthews, director of
environmental health and safety
for the university, prohibited the
laser show because of previous
accidents caused by such equip-
ment and Kansas' late request for
a mandatory inspection of their
lasers.
"Dust in the Wind" and "Point
of Know Return" drew the greatest
audience response; yet, compared
to the performance of their
warm-up act, The Michael Stanley
Band, Kansas and their crowd
appeared lifeless. The Cleveland-
based band really made the night
worthwhile for the 6,441 who
attended.
Just fourteen days separated
that show and the appearance of
Foreigner. In some ways, it was a
repeat of the Kansas concert.
The superstar band with three
successful albums on the market
drew high expectations, but their
performance proved to be
mediocre. Although only 6,800
came, Foreigner fans flowed with
the frenzied guitar solos of Mick
Jones and the vocals of Lou
Gramm through "Cold as Ice",
"Feels like the First Time" and
"Headknockers".
In the winter, O.U. students

Jeff Lorber Fusion, sizzled the
Baker Center Ballroom in early
January, and a funk band, the
Bar-Kays shook Memorial Auditor-
ium.
Soon after the Bar-Kays, a
lesser-known rock 'n' roll band, Off
Broadway, played before a disap-
pointingly small crowd in the
Baker Center Ballroom.
Part of the reason that smaller
bands were brought to town in the
winter was financial. But a major
change in concert seating policy
threw things into confusion for
most of the quarter, forcing the
PCC, the Center Program Board,
and the Black Cultural Program-
ming Board to book smaller acts.
In an effort to better the safety
and control crowd problems, Carol
Harter, vice president and dean of
students, sought a concert policy
that would limit seating in the
Convo to approximately 9,600,
Also, the proposal recommended
a limit of 2,300 on tickets to be sold
at outlets beyond a 50-mile radius,
and an increase in security and
parking personnel.
PCC chairman Mark Litton
voiced his disapproval over the
new plan.
"I personally feel the proposal
is a mistake. It may not completely
shut off all concerts here, but it will
decrease the amount of top acts
that the committee would want to
bring here," he said. "The concert
situation here does not look too
bright."

The Bar-Kays war* on* of several smaller act* that began coming to Ohio University in the winter.
The theater department opened the tall with Lanlord Wilton's The Mound Builders.
"We're in the process of
building so many things," said
Robert Winters, director of the
School of Theater. "We're provid-
ing something for the entire state,
particularly for southeastern
Ohio."
Though the productions are
funded solely by the box office
income, the theater still manages
to put on three major plays each
quarter. Besides that, the depart-
ment has expanded its touring,
begun last year, to two quarters
instead of one.
"It's hard to place one play
above the others," Winters said. "I
think it's a success that we get on
as many productions as we do.
That so many get the opportunity
to act, direct, design or crew is
fantastic."
Winters cited one quarter
when 260 students got to act in or
crew a production. That exper-
ience contributes to the success of
the school this year in placing 18
students in internships to pres-
tigious acting companies across
the country and in finding jobs
when they graduate.
"We had pretty good atten-
dance this year," Winter said. "But
we aren't doing well enough. We
need to work harder to make
contact with students at Ohio
University who don't have any
tradition or training in the arts.
They get to the movies and the
bars but I'd like to see them go to
dance concerts and films as well
as all this. It's no good to say they
ought to know better."
In an attempt to expose more

students to theater, the school
brought two pieces from the
comedy festival into the dorms.
"There is an interest there,"
Winters said. "I saw seven or eight
students grow into a crowd of 30 or
40 — just from people stopping in
and staying."
"If more people came, more
poeple would keep coming," said
actor Ken Bright. "Live theater is a
tremendous experience. There's
nothing like it."
The touring group, Stage III,
spreads theater throughout the
state. The self-contained company
performs and sponsors workshops
for high schools, community
colleges, universities and
community groups from Toledo to
Ironton.
Only third-year, third-quarter
graduate students tour with Stage
III. Most members are older and
have had professional internships
with acting companies. That
brings a certain maturity to the
groups. They follow a rigorous
schedule that includes produc-
tions or workshops, morning,
afternoon and evening.
In advance, they learn what
the schools need and then deliver.
"Otherwise, you've superimposed
art on the school's curriculum,"
explained Kenneth Frisch, Stage
III resource coordinator. "We want
it to be a different kind of
experience."
Stage III exemplifies the
principle of the whole theater
department — learn by doing. |

escapes into the worlds of fantasy,
comedy, or mystery. We remem-
bered Bergman and Bogart on that

Allen into the future, the past,

This year was one of the best
for movie-goers, bringing an
abundance of fine films from the
Athens Film Society, MIA, and the
Frontier Room at inexpensive
prices all during the week.
The Athens Film Society,
funded partly by the National
Endowment for the Arts, featured
both Classic American and foreign
films on weekends, in Seigfred
Auditorium.
Among the best of the 60 films
they showed during the year were
"The Godfather", "Lost Horizon",
"The Man Who Fell to Earth",
which was based on the book by
O.U. English professor Walter
Tevis and starred David Bowie,
"Days of Heaven", and Fellini's "La
Dolce Vita" and "Satyricon." AFS
Although Memorial Auditorium stopped
showing movies because ol poor projectors
and lack of attendance, Seigfred Auditor-
ium still shows films.
also featured films by great
odirectors such as Hitchcock,
Bergman and Bunuel and actors
like Chaplin and Garbo.
However, their biggest
success came not with major stars
or Oscar-winning films but with
pornography. "Emmanuelle II" and
"The Opening of Misty Beethoven"
were so popular, in fact, that all
four showings for each movie were
sold out and students were still
being turned away.
MIA, funded by the Student
Activities Commission, offered a
different choice of recent movies
on Thursday nights in Memorial
Auditorium. Among them were
"The Goodbye Girl", "Marathon
Man", Woody Allen's "Love and
Death" and "Deliverance".
But after losses on eight films,
the MIA decided to stop program-
ming for winter and spring
quarters. The reasons, they said,
were poor attendance due to film
competition on campus, no pub-
licity, outdated movie projectors
and a lack of funds.
The Frontier Room continued
to draw large crowds in their
fourth year of showing free films
on Tuesday nights. Although
seating was limited and the screen
could not be seen by some, the bar
was usually packed at each film.
Cheap beer and free popcorn
helped.
Among the many good films
they featured were "Rocky", "One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,"
"Cassablanca". At least seven
Woody Allen films were shown in
Athens during the year, and the
Frontier Room supplied three of
'jthem: "Sleeper", "Bananas", and
"Annie Hall". The Frontier Room
also brought two Peter Sellers'
Inspector Clouseau films: "The
Pink Panther" and "A Shot in the
Dark".
Meanwhile, students still
flocked uptown to see flicks at the
Varsity and renovated Athena
theaters. The Athena divided its
seating area up and split into three
theaters. Though the $3 and $3.50
tickets were expensive compared
to those of the campus film
groups, the uptown theater's had
no problem bringing students in
with films like "The Electric
Horseman", "Star Trek: The
Motion Picture", "Kramer vs.
Kramer", "The Muppet Movie",
"The Jerk", and other first-run
movies.

The K-Tels bring a new wave of rock W roll to the Frontier Room.
Athens is fertile ground for
musical talent, and each season a
new crop of bands springs up.
The variety of sound is end-
less — new wave, country rock,
acoustic, electric jazz fusion — the
list goes on.
Patrons pack Swanky's and
the Frontier Room weekly to hear
such groups as Hot Cakes, Cold-
fish, Close Enough for Jazz, Tang-
ent and Contraband.
Frontier Room manager Terry
Hogan pointed out that Athens
offers a good environment for a
young group to get started, but is
inadequate if a band aspires to the
big time.
"It all depends on the profes-
sional goals of a particular group,"
he said. "If they want to break into
music full time and want to go
national, no, it's not a good place."
Hogan cited the fact that few
Athens bars are large enough to
handle live entertainment.
Many local bands, such as
Khaki Sweatband, Tangent and
the K-Tels comprise primarily OU
students.
"We do our best to work with |
students," Hogan said, but added |
quickly that few student groups £
are good enough for weekend I
appearances.
According to Hogan, student
bands come and go frequently,
perhaps breaking up after only a
few months. But as one group dies,
another forms to take its place.
Sally Shiftier and Ray Nowak spotlight their talents lor student enjoyment.

Nick Prokas, "Mr. SourHaki," caters to the late - night crowd.
For the serious connoisseur of
late night munching, uptown
Athens is unparalleled.
As the masses stumble from
the various Court Street watering
holes they find a myriad of friendly
establishments where they can
contentedly stuff their faces.
For those inclined to the usual
fare of subs and pizza, Angelo's
Hole in the Wall, The Eatery, Pizza
House and Souflaki's are some of
the more popular spots.
A few will welcome nocturnal
gluttons as late as 4:00 a.m.
Those with tastes a bit more
ethnic can find acceptable cuisine
at such places as Casa Que Pasa,
Dolen's, Hop Sing's or Chiccalini's
Pasta Palace.
Athens after dark is a fertile
market for the enterprising res-
tauranteur, and provides a wide
range of selection for those who
genuinely love to eat.
Whatever mixture of foods and
atmosphere that best fits your
liking, you can find it here.
A relaxed and homey atmosphere greets patrons ot Mom's
Coffeehouse.
Students have their choice when it comes to pizza; the Pizza House
is just one ot many.
Whether it's a sandwich or a cookie, CJ's is the place to go.
The action may be alow but competition geta fierce in dormitory backgammon tournamenta.
In conforming with Ohio
University's reputation as a party
school, most students seem
magnetically drawn uptown on
weekend nights to drink and
socialize in crowded bars, or have
parties in dorms or apartments.
But not everyone fits into this
mold. Of those that do, most get
tired of the uptown crowds at
some time or other. There are also
weekends when some don't have
the money, especially toward the
end of the quarters.
There are a wide range of
activities for times like these.
While the- vast majority of people
are gone, some choose to do the
more mundane chores of everyday
life. "I always do my laundry on
Friday nights," one girl said. "It's
the only time there isn't a line for
the washers." Writing letters,
typing overdue reports, and other
business can best be caught up on
when school work is not pressing.
"It's not exciting, but it's
practical," shrugged one junior.
Some people even study on the
weekends. "The library is so quiet
on Friday and Saturday night," one
junior said. "That's when I get
most of my work done."
If noise from the party next
door doesn't bother you, the
weekend is a good time to catch
up on sleep. "When I get back from
classes on Friday, I'm too tired to
party," a freshman admitted. "I
usually go to bed by 11:00."
Contrary to popular belief, it is
possible to have a good time
without going to parties or bars.
Many people order pizza or subs
and have a few friends over to play f
monopoly or backgammon. |
Especially popular in dorms are |
late night gossip sessions which 3
may cover every subject from
school to sex. Die-hard television
addicts, in front of the set even on
Friday or Saturday nights, are
joined by those looking for a good
movie.
If you're really bored on Friday
night, you can always alphabetize W
your records, water plants, or V
clean your room. For a severe case |>
of the stuck-in-Athens blues, one i
junior suggests "I get out a map
and find all the other places but
Athens I'd rather be."

On most weeknights, Memor-
ial Auditorium remains dark and
empty, with only a few students
sitting and talking on the front
steps. But on the evenings that the
Ohio University Artist Series
performs, Memorial Auditorium is
ablaze with lights as students
dressed in jeans and couples in
tuxedos and evening gowns enter
the doors to watch that night's
entertainment.
The OU Artist Series opened
the season with "Eubie!" on Oct. 7.
The Musical, a revue of composer
Eubie Blake's hits from the '20's,
played to a near-capacity crowd.
The performers sang, danced and
acted out such numbers as "Daddy"
and "If You've Never Been Vamped
by a Brownskin, You've Never Been
Vamped At All." Only some
technical problems with the sound
prevented the audience from
enjoying the show completely.
On October 18, performers of
the Moscow Pops including the
Nakrasov Russian Folk Orchestra,
along with members of the Bolshovi
Opera and the Kiev Ballet, played
folk songs and waltzes, such as the
"Danube Waltz" and "Hey, Merry
Ladies". One of the performers,
Vladislav Piavko, threw kisses to the
audience and singled out special
women to sing to. A fire alarm that
went off during the performance
disturbed the audience but not the

performers as they played on and
received a standing ovation.
Ruth Laredo, a pianist, played
pieces by Ravel and Chopin for a
very sparse audience on Nov. 1.
"The Flight of the Bumblebee" by
Rimski-Korsakov-Rachmaninoff
received the most enthusiastic
response from the audience. The
OU Symphony Orchestra ac-
companied Laredo for the second
half of the show.
A fly, a monkey and a rabbit
were all depicted November 9 by a
mime group, Mummenshcanz,
featuring Mark Olsen, Claudia
Weiss and Mark Thompson. Based
in part upon the ancient Swiss
theater tradition of "The Masks",
the group derives its name from the
German "mummen" meaning
game and "schanz" meaning
chance. The packed audience,
including many children, laughed
and clapped as performers used
rolls of toilet paper, clay and yarn to
portray emotions. During intermis-
sion the group mingled with the
audience, to the delight of the
children.
Also appearing during the
Artist Series were the Sam Rivers
Orchestra, Patrice McBride and
)ean-Peirre Bonnefous, the Osaka
Philharmonic, and the Don Redlick
Dance Company.

The Moscow Pops came to Memorial Auditorium in the midst ot rising Russo-American tensions and a rash of Russian defections by artists.

There was no shortage of
outside ideas flowing into Athens,
as the Kennedy Lecture Series, the
Student Lecture Series and various
other campus organizations
brought in a dozen major speakers
during the fall and winter.
Perhaps the best-known
speaker was Ralph Nader who, on
January 15, called for students to
become effective citizens. His
speech stressed consumer activism
as it covered a wide range of topics,
ranging from college and education
reform — "I'm proposing a differ-
ent theme for education, that of
civic training," he said — to the
contamination of drinking water —
"Chemical waste studies prove it's
in every state, not just at Love
Canal," he said.
A similar call for action was
made by Barry Commoner, who
spoke February 29. Commoner,
who is running for president under
a newly formed Citizen's Party,
stressed the importance of chang-
ing America from a country that is
controlled by government and
corporations to one that is con-
trolled by citizens.
Activist-Comedian Dick
Gregory also called for students to
wake up and become involved, in
his February 3 speech, as did civil
rights activist William Kunstler, two
weeks later. "I understand that on
Halloween and the last weekend in
spring you go mad," Kunstler said.
"I suggest this year you give that
some political direction; convert it
into an anti-registration rally — not
a riot, but a dignified protest."
Kunstler was one of a number
of speakers that the Kennedy
Lecture Series co-sponsored with
various departments and schools at
Ohio University.
Other speakers included film
composer Jerry Fielding; Anthony
Bouza, a former deputy chief of the
New York police department; Lyle
Denniston, a Supreme Court
reporter for the Washington Star;
Randall Robinson, head of Trans-
Africa, a black lobbying organiza-
tion; John Stockwell, an ex-CIA
agent and the author of a CIA
expose, Inside the CIA; James H.
Street, an authority of the world
food problem and Latin American
economics; Melinda Liu, the
newly-appointed bureau chief of
Peking for Newsweek; and Robert
Madden, a photographer for
National Geographic.
176
Far Left — Jamas Street
warned that the United
States must aide Latin
America in developing
food production, and
soon.
Left — Melinda Liu dis-
cussed the new U.S. rela-
tions with China and her
responsibilities as a corre-
spondent in Peking.
177
Far Right — Barry Commoner made his first speech as a presidential
candidate February 29, in Memorial Auditorium.
Right — Robert Madden discussed his adventures as a photographer
with National Geographic.

President Jimmy Carter, college admissions tests, and — as usual —
big business.

The Hillel Foundation on Mill
Street is the center for Jewish
activities in Athens. There, students
can socialize with culturally similar
peers.
"If a student wants any type of
thing to happen here, it can," said
Marty Cohen, chairperson of the
student board. "All that's involved
is a little initiative."
The Hillel Student Advisory
Board, meets three times per
quarter to plan group activities,
such as the Fat Sandwich Coffee
House, or lox and bagels brunches.
Other activities include discussions
ranging from the Jewish Views of
Jesus, to nuclear energy, Biblical
literature or Israel.
The social activities attract
many non-Jewish people. "It's
overtly Jewish, "Rabbi Rieser said,
"but that doesn't mean it's just for
Jews. Anything we do is open to
anybody."
Last spring, the Hillel House
"adopted" a Soviet Jewish family,
Vladimir and Karmella Raiz. They
keep in contact and hope that their
concern will safeguard the family
from abuse.
Discrimination does not end at
the Russian border, though. A
Sukka, or shelter commemorating
the holiday of Sukkot and Soviet
Jews, was erected by Hillel
members on the College Green,
but it was knocked down and slit
with a knife. Earlier, a Hillel banner
was burned at the College Gate. s
For an organization that offers f
so much to so many such vandalism £
seems unfortunate indeed. o

of what Hillel is all about.

Many black students coming to Athens experience a cultural
shock. But organizations like the Center tor Afro-American
Affairs have overcome barriers like the university's refusal
to recognize Martin Luther King Day as a holiday, to keep
0 U Irom being totally dry of black culture.
182

Athens is extremely limited in
the area of providing satisfactory
evening recreation and entertain-
ment for the black students who
attend Ohio University.
A majority of the black student
population coming from large city
or suburban areas confront a
cultural shock in Athens.
Uptown Athens comes fully
equipped with 15 bars, three pizza
places, two movie houses, numer-
ous other eating areas and several
arcades to occupy an individual's
time on a Friday or Saturday
evening. Of course if one isn't
turned on by slugging down beers
'til 2 a.m., eating pizzas and subs,
wasting quarter after quarter to
bruise your hips on a pinball
machine or just can't afford $7.00 to
take your lady to the movies, then
uptown Athens turns into a real
drag.
Most of the black students just
don't get into listening to the Frog
Whompers croon and whoop at
Mr. Bojangles or the Frontier
Room. The long lines for the Cat's
Den and The Phase I just aren't
worth it to listen to average rock or
pop pour from the jukebox.
Occasionally a few black
students will make it uptown to
Mug and Margarita's for a drink or
two amidst the closest thing to a
disco atmosphere. Or they'll spend
a Wednesday afternoon at happy
hours at Swanky's or the evening
there on soul night.
Blacks create for themselves an
atmosphere which they are more
familiar with and therefore can
relate to better. Ohio University's
black student population finds
deejayed dances at Lindley Student
Center more like their idea of a well
spent evening. These dances are
usually given by the black Greek
organizations and students are
charged 50 cents to dance and to
enjoy all the latest soulful, discoand
jazz recordings.
Every now and then a Creek
organization will give a ball. They
are often held at the Armory. On
the nights when there are no
dances, there are other affairs such
as lectures at Memorial Auditor-
ium, variety shows and movies at
Morton Hall which occupy blacks
on campus.
No, the majority of the black
students don't head uptown on
Friday and Saturday nights but
instead keep a low profile at
Lindley. Black students seem to
include more dancing and singing §
and less alcohol in their notion of *
partying. I
183
WOUmiii U, A
Many University students take
advantage of the cultural folklore
experiences in this area. Whether
it's listening to a favorite bluegrass
band pickin' to its heart's content,
or a walk around the trails at
Strouds Run State Park, many
students can see and experience
the culture and beauty of the
region.
Students can also learn more
about this area in the classroom.
Sociology of Appalachia, Politics of
Appalachia, Geography of Appala-
chia and. during the 1980 Winter
Quarter, A Media Survey of Athens
County all provide insight into the
people and lifestyles in Appalachia.
Although there is still interest
in courses on Appalachia, Associate
Professor of Sociology Bruce Kuhre
said that it isn't as popular as it was
four or five years ago. Kuhre, who
taught Sociology of Appalachia for
eight years and co-edited the
textbook used in the course, said
past students took a "romantic"
approach to Appalachia and the
rural areas. Some thought that
country living would be easier but
they later became disgruntled.
"Today, students are much
more concerned with being able to
compete with others in the job
market," he said. "It (Sociology of
Appalachia course) doesn't have
the romantic attachment it did four
or five years ago. Students who are
taking it now are more realistic."
Kuhre is working with
sociology associate professors
Bruce Ergood and Cirard Krebs to
establish a certification in Appala-
chian Studies curriculum. Although
nothing is specific, Kuhre said the
interested student would have a
regular major and also study
courses dealing with Appalachia
before receiving the certificate.
184
Far Left - The life of Athens County farmers often reflects
characteristics associated with Appalachia, including
self-sufficiency.
Right - A less complicated lifestyle, one that involves
producing your own food, is not necessarily an easier one.
Bottom — The hills allow plenty of space for children to play.

John Schmieding: "What keeps us together is a common goal of wanting a community in the country."
GrftlK^ rflUM OKMj 9t All W iH MilKA UHlrlJij/
Looking into the hills of Athens
county a student can be tempted to
think, "forget the rat race, I'm going
to get lost in those hills and settle
down!"
Some people do. The Sun-
flower farm, located about three
miles from Amesville, is a commune
of such people, but probably not
your typical commune. "Most
communities are formed around
one ideology," said resident John
Schmieding. "The most striking
thing about this community is its
diversity."
The Sunflower "community"
began about four years ago when
100 acres was bought for the
purpose of establishing a commu-
nity arrangement. Currently, there
are 75 acre plots taken and the
community will stop growing when
it adds three more homesteaders.
The remaining 22 acres belongs to
everyone who lives on the farm.
Most people think of com-
mune residents as ones who strive
for total self-sufficiency from
society. At the Sunflower farm
that's not necessarily the case.
"Self-sufficiency is not a goal," said
Schmieding. However, several
residents don't have conventional
electricity in their homes. Instead,
some run their houses off of
batteries.
Community members hold
periodic meetings to discuss their
business and arrange work
schedules to get things done
around the farm. All proposals are
settled through consensus rather
than a majority vote. For example, if
one member disagrees with a
proposal, a compromise is attempt-
ed.
Garry Penswick said the
community living concept at the
Sunflower farm works well because
everyone has his own plot of land
where they can do what they want
"It's like one big neighborhood,"
he said.
Long hours of practice are
not work, but pleasure for
Marcia Hall.
To say someone is a fine
violinist bespeaks one thing above
all — dedication. For Marcia Hall,
playing her violin 50 hours a week
in addition to attending classes is
not at all unusual. That is in addition
to attending classes in conducting,
music history and completing
bothersome general requirements.
But for Hall, practice is not a
chore, it's a delight. "Oh, sure,
there are frustrations and moments
when I want to put it away and not
even think about music," she says,
"But more often than not I am
carried away by the music and the
technique — the time just flies."
Hall, a very active musician,
played first-chair violin while acting
as concert mistress in the O.U.
Symphony for the opera "Don
Giovanni," and has performed
frequently with the Springfield
Symphony Orchestra and the
Huntington Chamber Orchestra.
Despite these impressive begin-
nings, Hall's primary objective is not
to perform in front of tuxedoed
men and fur-wrapped women in
great concert halls. "People look
down on lesser-known groups, but
if I enjoyed playing with them and
felt that I was accomplishing
something musically by being
there, I'd prefer it to a stuffy
position in Cleveland or Boston."
188
Jazz One's improvisational
skills grow out of dedication as
much as talent.
It seems as if everywhere the
Jazz Ensembles played, there was
always a large and enthusiastic
crowd to accompany them.
Jazz Ensembles One and Two
and now newly-formed Jazz Three
perform. Although not many
numbers from the so-called "Big
Band Era" are played, a jazz
enthusiast could acknowledge the
fact that much of modern jazz still
contains a bit of that old brassy
style.
"It's easier to relate to the
audience with modern jazz," said
Ernie Bastin, associate professor of
brass instruments and director of
Jazz One. "And there is just so
much material to be covered, so we
don't do the old stuff."
Jazz Three was formed this year
in order to give students more
contact with jazz, Bastin said, and
also because the students who are
music education majors will have to
teach jazz some day.
"Being in the jazz ensembles is
the only way they can practice
jazz," Bastin said.
Jazz One contains more ad-
vanced players; however, as Bastin
said, Jazz Two has vastly improved
since last year. Jazz Three is
definitely on its way up, and who
knows, maybe within the next few
years, OU will have a Jazz Four that
it can be as proud of as it is of One,
Two, and Three.

One of Ohio University's more
promising painters is Charles
Bensman.
a.
Qjdmty tk Hik c| Mm
The landscape, the small town,
the comfortable community all
come together to make Athens the
perfect setting for a painter. Or at
least for Charles Bensman, a senior
in the School of Art.
"I loved the landscape around
Athens and Ohio University had a
good reputation for art," Bensman
said. "OU is the only help I've
gotten as far as painting goes. I've
had my ups and downs but kept
trying."
Bensman paints mostly lands-
capes; his style, as he describes it, is
"naturalistic, realism." His paintings
reflect his fondness for Athens
scenery.
"I've only gotten as far as I have
within the last year," he said. "For
three years I stumbled around,
making mistakes. But the faculty is
excellent at OU. And I have to be
sharp enough to catch my mistakes
and refine my painting."
With a lot of luck Bensman
hopes to become an independent
painter after graduate school.
Gallery showings throughout the
state would make Bensman known.
If a certain gallery liked his work
and style, he could begin painting
exclusively for that gallery.
Independent painting is not
the only alternative open to
Bensman. "I would like to be a
painting instructor," said Bensman. |
"My professors think I could go 8
into illustrations." I

Experimentation and
being unconventional
are hallmarks of
Charles Couasnon's
sculpture.
vmim
9n Scoifag
To Charles Couasnon, sculpt-
ing is the expression of his in-
dividual pursuit of the spirtual side
of life.
"I'm moving my work towards
individualism," said Couasnon. "I
want everyone to look towards
themselves for their spiritual
comfort rather than to mass
organizations for religion."
Couasnon, a senior in art, is a
transfer student to OU. The
facilities for sculpting and the
instructors brought Couasnon to
Athens. "I needed a change,
wanted to make a move. I came
here to visit and liked what was
going on," he said.
The change in environment
improved his work, Couasnon
admitted. His sculpting lately has
been with steel although he feels
the need to experiment with a
variety of materials to be comfort-
able.
Manipulative materials such as
stone and clay are also a part of
Couasnon's work. Icons, images and
spiritual symbols direct his sculpt-
ing today.
"I think icons are a locking part
of the social structure," he said. But
for Couasnon, they become a way
to express his thoughts of in-
dividuality and religion.
After graduation, Couasnon
plans to continue sculpting and
hopes to become financially suc-
cessful one day. Teaching is also a
possibility in the near future. But
whether teaching students or
working as a sculptor, he will be
expressing himself through his
work.
191
Singing is rewarding
(or Tayek, but it is not
his prime concern.
Mmd mMMSit
A vocal musician such as Jack
Tayek has the added frustration of
knowing that his "instrument" is
internal. A pianist can aspire to play
a Steinway grand, a violinist can
yearn for a Stradivarius, but a
vocalist must rely on his vocal
chords and physical technique.
"There's a certain benefit to
that, though," explains Tayek. "A
voice is yours and no one else has
made it for you. What you are
working with is very personal."
Practice, of course, makes that
ability more than just a pastime. It
can be frustrating. "I feel that
practice should always be difficult,
Tayek says. "If I'm doing it correct-
ly, I must be working and striving to
perfect myself. That's often not
easy, but it can be rewarding."
Tayek, who played the role of
Leporello in the opera "Don
Giovanni" fall quarter, readily
admits that opera is not his great
goal in music. "I'm an educator first,
and I want to have broad musical
interests. I enjoy playing in Trom-
bone Choir. My voice is not a
hobby, but it's not my prime
concern. I want to teach people
how to sing, and I want to use my
voice to help others learn to use =
theirs." I

One of the finest dancers at
Ohio University, Terri Kraft
believes her talent to be
God-given.
At in fitdttwt
Terri Kraft, a senior in the
School of Dance, has immediate
plans of going home to Seattle to be
with her father.
But as far as her career goes,
Kraft said, "I'm not sure. A lot of
options are open, in New York or
other eastern states. I'd like to be
on the west coast to be near my
family and my friends." She
continued, "I committed my life to
Christ two and a half years ago, and
since I've met the Lord, I'm sure He
will direct me in the way I should
go. He's got a place for me."
She came to Ohio University
because she met one of the
professors, Gladys Bailin, while still
in High School in Canada at a
workshop. Kraft said that she has
come to appreciate this area over
time, but still loves the mountains
and the ocean. She said she feels as
long as one has peace within
oneself, anywhere can be pretty
exciting.
"I think I've been given a gift in
dance, and have been blessed with
coordination," Kraft said. "There
isn't room to think you've made it
because there's always someone
better. It's a tough field, so
self-oriented and self-centered.
The abilities I have don't come from
me and I'm thankful for my health."

At just 26, Connie Ray was
chosen for the cherished
role of Martha in "Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?".
Connie Ray has been involved
in theater since she was nine years
old when she won a state competi-
tion with her brother in North
Carolina.
She come to OU because of its
good reputation, good teachers
and internship program. The
internship program is very impor-
tant because it allows an actor to
make important contacts.
"I want to do it more than
anything else in the world and it's so
iffy," Ray said. "There are so many
out there who are just as good as
you are — it's just who you know."
The second year graduate
student has already learned a lot at
OU. "Here you're emersed in it
(acting) from 11-5 every day. It's
very intensive." Ray added, "You
may not know for a couple years
just how much you've learned."
One thing she learned from
her role as Martha, in "Who's Afraid
of Virginia Woolf?" winter quarter
is that "People don't want to see
you play it safe. It's boring to see
someone do what you could do."
In her role as Martha, one of
the roles that she says every actress
wants to play, Ray wore no padding
and had to "scream like a banshee.
But, it's okay for you to do it, 'cause
you're not you," she explained.

Ken Bright would even-
tually like to move into
television and later direct-
ing.
"Live theater is a tremendous
experience," said Ken Bright, a
graduate student in theater. "If
more people came, more people
would keep coming. There's just
not anything like it."
Bright himself fell in love with
theater after getting involved with a
production of "The Diary of Ann
Frank". He said" 'Been doing it ever
since and 'been paying someone
ever since to be able to keep doing
it."
Except for a stint in the Air
Force and an internship with the
Cincinnati Playhouse, he has been
acting at OU. Bright graduated from
OU and returned here to do his
graduate work because of training
— from voice to movement — and
because of the scale and number of
performances.
"I've grown light years as an
actor with Peter Sander," Bright
said, citing his current professor's
relaxed and natural atmosphere.
Bright taught introductory
classes to non-majors as well as
played Dr. Wangel in the winter
production of "The Lady from the
Sea".
Although he admires other
actors, he copies no one. "You're
just cheating yourself out of all the
discoveries you can make. Each
person brings something different
to each role," Bright explained.
"You have to make it real for
yourself in order to make it real for
others."

Philip Terman edits Sphere
magazine, the center of a tight
circle of O.U. writers.
It is like the time in a dream
When we are sitting between two
mirrors,
Our shadows stretched out long
on the floor.
We are in a room much like the
one
We are in now.
Ya slowly whisper a poem
into my ear, your breath
entering
my head like fire that spreads
flame.

Philip Terman is a creative
writing major who came to Ohio
University four years ago from
South Euclid, a suburb of Cleveland,
because of the nice scenery.
"This atmosphere seems to
breed artists, and poets are not the
least among them," Terman said.
"Certain poets here are very serious
about their work, sort of like a life
and death situation. They've
formed a tight circle where every-
one helps each other out."
Terman would like to be
remembered in the Norton Anth-
ology someday. Shorter range goals

include graduate school and writing
a book of poetry.
Why poetry? "Poetry ex-
presses the primal music rhythm of
an individual's nature as manifested
in collective consciousness. Poetry
is music," said Terman. "Everybody
speaks music everyday in their
conversations. What a poem should
do is direct itself towards the
essence of music."
Currently, Terman is editor of c

For Skip Gans, there's a whole
world of the uncommon, wait-
ing to be captured.
George Cans, a graduating
senior in photo art from Ramsey,
N.J., is an individual with an eye for
the uncommon.
"I like to photograph the
peculiar, things that are different,
out of the ordinary, the unique."
Gans, known as Skip to most,
reports that he didn't become
seriously interested in photography
before coming to OU.
"It happened by accident, I
guess. I just kind of stumbled into
it," he said.
"I came with a naive attitude. I
didn't know anything about it. I just
kind of got into the system and
determined for myself what I
wanted to do — and that's make
art."
For Gans, "making art" often
requires discarding conventional
formats. He does not always use
35mm film, but instead utilizes
"anything that suits the image."
Gans believes photo art is
difficult area to study in academic
terms, but feels there are some c
excellent faculty members in the |
department. He plans to do %
graduate work in art history.

It is a well-known fact that no one passing
the College Gate carries any money.
M ii A (W
"Buy this! Sign that! Take one
of these! Would you like to
contribute?"
No event or cultural group or
political-activist club or organiza-
tion would be recognized by
students if its supporters didn't
push their wares at the College
Gate.
During the fall and spring the
gate is flooded with people trying
to sell anything from T-shirts to
raffle tickets; publicize anything
from boxing matches to pantamime
shows; push petitions for anything
from getting political candidates on
the ballot to getting student
representation by state-wide
organizations; express views on
anything from nuclear energy to
the spring riot; and collect money
for anything from the American
Cancer Society to unorthodox
religious groups.
Actually, only two organiza-
tions are permitted to work the
College Gate at a time. The
organizations have to be sanctioned
by the Student Life Programs office
or some academic department and
must get permission from that
office in advance to be out there.
Regardless of which or how
many organizations are working the
gate, they have to hustle to get
students' attention. Being bom-
barded by promotions everytime
they walk onto the College Green,
students quickly build up a resis-
tance to the activities. They
become deaf to the shouts, blind to
the banners, broke to the pleas, and
more than often, annoyed. Many
simply walk around the gate.
But the T-shirt sellers, pamplet
passers and petition pushers press
on, often in the rain, often in
frustration, but usually in the name
of a cause.

Financial difficulties, a new
location, new equipment, and the
coverage of several special events
dominated THE POST'S first year in
Baker Center.
■The story of THE POST this
year is money or the lack thereof,"
says Gary Marshall, editor of
EXTRA, THE POST'S weekly
magazine supplement. To make up
a 510,000 deficit. Posties took to the
streets for "Dollar Day," selling the
last issue of fall quarter for one
dollar and raising $1900. Marshall
blames the loss of national advertis-
ing revenue for the troubled
financial situation. However, editor
Jim Frantz says the deficit is
decreasing.
Despite the tight money situa-
tion, THE POST pulled off several
stories that Frantz and managing
editor Teri Krimm think are among
the best stories of the year.
University editor Alan Adler agrees,
saying, "This is what sets THE POST
apart from other college papers. We
go where the news is." This year
Post staff members covered the
pope in Washington D.C., Jimmy
Carter in Steubenville, Jane Fonda
in Dayton, and a large march in
Greensboro, N.C.
Local stories included coverage
of a train derailment in Millfield and
a shooting incident involving City
Prosecuter James Halleran.
The Halleran case put THE
POST in the news when staff writer
Peg Loftus was charged with
contempt of court for refusing to
answer questions at Halleran's
indictment hearing. Loftus. crime

when ordered by the judge at her
own hearing. She said, "It made me
take what I was doing seriously. I
didn't want to make a bad decision
for other reporters. I think I did the
right thing."
The move from Pilcher House
has made the staff more profession-
al, according to Krimm, but long-
time Posties like Marshall regret the
passing of the former wild lifestyle.
"THE POST doesn't raise hell," he
complains. "We're not outrageous
anymore."
But Adler thinks the move to
conservatism was necessary.
"We've changed with the campus,"
he says. "OU is not as much of a
party school as it used to be. If we
didn't change, we wouldn't be
representing the students."
Overall, THE POST is seen as a
learning ground, the closest thing to
professional experience on a daily
paper. But the same dailiness that
makes THE POST'S reputation, is
also responsible for its mistakes,
says Frantz, explaining that the hard
work and long hours sap the energy
and stamina of the staff.

The Institute of Visual
Communication is a program that
combines the School of Art and the
School of Journalism allowing
students to earn a bachelor or
science in journalism or a bachelor
of fine arts degree in visual
communication.
The program was run exper-
imentally for two years and officially
started in September 1978. Chuck
Scott, director, said, "It's been
successful. The program utilizes
resources of two colleges." He
continued, "It gives students in
journalism a better background in
art and art students a better
Chuck Scott churns out award-winning
photographers year after year.
background in journalism. It's a far
better arrangement then before. As
far as we know its the only program
run this way."
The Institute sponsors a News-
photo Conference for word-oriented
newspaper editors annually.
Scott said photojournalism is
usually not taken seriously, but it
is taken serious at O.U.
Scott said that it's very impor-
tant to be trained in all aspects of
journalism. Editors will no longer
tolerate photographers who can't
write. "It's not enough to be a
photographer or a reporter. One
should understand the whole
gambit, graphics, writing, and
photography," Scott said.
The number ol would-be photo-journalists has skyrocketed.

When THE POST and the
Spectrum GREEN moved out of
Pilcher House last summer, most
people thought it was the end of an
era. And good riddance, they said.
The building was generally thought
to be the ugliest, most run-down
structure on campus. The two
publications had been there since
just 1974, but when they moved on
to Baker Center, they left a house
whose walls were (where they were
still standing) plastered with graffiti
("Historic!" claimed THE POST'S
former editor Chris Celek), ceilings
were falling in, furniture was torn,
burned, broken and stolen, and
trash, old newspapers and year-
books were, well, everywhere. It
looked as if a party had been carried
One of O.U.'s greatest slums — er .
landmarks — Pilcher House
on there continuously for six years.
But somehow, people knew the
building was something more than
an eyesore. In the fall the university
announced it would not tear the
house down and put in a parking lot,
as it had originally planned. The
house had once been a nice place
— nice enough to house the offices
of the College of Communication. It
is the only known example of
Italianate architecture in Athens.
And it had been there since 1880.
when the Pilchers (or was it the
Sloans? or maybe the O'Blenneses?
or the Perkins? No one's quite sure)
had it built to order.
So the university, which had
owned it since about 1968. decided
to have the place declared a
national historic site. Then the
university advertised to lease the
house for 15 years to anyone willing
to restore it to its original condition.
But that includes tearing down
the back half of the building, which
was added about fifty years ago,
and cleaning all the historic graffiti
off the walls.
Pilcher house is staying, but
somehow, it will never be the same.
Goodbye.
A fitting goodbye.

Students are involved in all facets of
radio and television, ranging from
broadcasting to behind-the-scenes
production. They can also be
involved in a work-study program
consisting of mostly clerical workers
who are paid for their efforts.
For those who want to "ham it
up" and stay loose, radio broad-
casting provides students with an
alternative to being in front of a
nerve wracking camera. "Deejay-
ing" on radio AM-FM involves
knowing how to run the equipment
as well as developing a radio
personality. Tests are required for
the student to prove his or her
abilities.
The people who work behind
the scenes in production deal
mostly with the pressure-packed
situation of getting the news,
commercials and announcements
on the air. They have to know how
much time is allotted for each
commercial and must cue in the
announcer so there are no embar-
rassing silences between spots.
They are also responsible for
putting several local programs on
the air, such as "Music from the
Valley." a program featuring
bluegrass.
WOUB-TV provides Southeas-
tern Ohio with not only education
programs, but also with an OU-
oriented news program. NEWS-
WATCH. Students turn into anchor-
persons and residents come face-
to-face with possible future heirs to
Walter Cronkite's job. But for now,
instead of saying, "And that's the
way it is . . .", OU's rookies content
themselves with, "And that's a look
at NEWSWATCH."
WOUB-FM is broadcast to most ol southeastern Ohio and features students like Rick Rogala.

In 1979-80, OU students were
brought out of their isolation in the
hills and were retied to the realities
of world news. Major international
crises came home to Americans
during the year, and seemed to have
an effect on everything else that
happened. In November a group of
militant Iranian students stormed
the U.S. embassy in Tehran, and a
month later the Soviet Union
invaded the neighboring country of
Afghanistan.
From that moment, war seemed
to be a very real possibility here, just
61/2 years since the American
people put the horrors of the
Vietnam War to bed. American
sentiment on war split, but nearly
everyone seemed unified in their
horror and anger over what Iran and
Russia were doing. Four months
later, 50 Americans were still being
held hostage in Tehran, and stories
of Russian atrocities were still
filtering out of Afghanistan.
So in his State-of-the-Union
Address in January, President
Carter announced that he was
calling for a re-instatement of draft
registration, and the university
community was stunned into cons-
ciousness.
And the cries became political.
It was an election year, and before
November, 1979, Carter trailed
Edward Kennedy by a wide margin.
Carter's firm stand against the
Iranian captors and Russia pushed
him well into the lead in polls, and
helped him win early primaries. Part
of his hard stand against the
Russians included a call for the
United States to boycott the
Summer Olympics, to be held in
Moscow.
Ironically, it was the Winter
Olympics, held in Lake Placid, New
York, that gave Americans a breath
of relief and a charge of patriotic
pride. The U.S. hockey team went
into the Olympics inexperienced,
untested, unseeded and with no
hope of getting past the Finnish,

Swedish or Czech teams. Absolutely
no one gave the scrappy Americans,
led by Jim Craig and Mark Johnson
a chance to beat the Russians.
When they did, Lake Placid was
pandimonium and the rest of the
country had found the heroes it
needed. It was almost anticlimactic
when the team beat Finland for the
gold medal, two days later. Mean-
while, Eric Heiden became another
winter hero, as he won five gold
medals, cleaning up in all the
speed-skating events.
When the winter games came to
an end, we were pushed back into
politics, as the race for the pre-
sidency continued. For the Repub-
licans, the elusive Ronald Reagan
managed to stay in front of a wide
field that included George Bush,
John Anderson, John Connally and
Howard Baker.
All of this happened so quickly
that we had almost forgotten all
about Pope John Paul ll's magical
trip across the United States. His
stops in Boston, New York, Chicago,
Des Moines and Washington
brought good will and captured
hearts of Catholics and non-
Catholics alike. We had also nearly
forgotten the tragedies that were
taking place in the South Pacific.
Thousands of Vietnam boat people
wandered aimlessly, looking for a
home, while, nearby, thousands of
Cambodians starved to death.
The economy was one thing we
could not forget. Fueled by a gas
shortage in the summer, gasoline
prices soared from 85 cents to $1.15
a gallon. The call for new energy
sources went out to many, but,
unfortunately, was heard by few.
And in January, inflation had
reached a rate of 18 percent
annually.
Still, we were not completely
down. The year in sports offered an
exciting World Series and an
exciting Super Bowl, both won by
Pittsburgh. Aging Willie Stargell led
the Pirates to a come-from-behind
seven-game victory over the Bal-
timore Orioles in October. Then, in
January, Terry Bradshaw and the
Steelers, heavily favored against the ?
Los Angeles Rams, had to come|
from behind twice before they finally s
won, 31-19. "
Americans could take a lesson from Mr. Bill who survived crisis after crisis during the year.

Probably the best known
publication on campus is THE
POST, but there are many types of
media that students have the
opportunity to become involved
with.
One is ATHENS MAGA-
ZINE, which is a lab magazine, one
of two self-supporting university
magazines in the country. The class
is required for all magazine jour-
nalism majors, but is open to all
journalism students. It is published
quarterly. Editor of the spring issue,
Tim Smith, said, "ATHENS MAGA-
ZINE deals with southeastern Ohio
in some way. The stories are wide
open; there are political, environ-
mental and historical pieces. In
some quarters there have been more
town-related articles and in others
quarters more student-related
articles." Smith said that winter
quarter was the first that students
were graded for their work.
A weekly newspaper, ATHENS
NEWS is totally self-supporting
employing four full-time and about
ten part-time people, five of which
are students. "We try to print things
that aren't covered in other media,
exciting news that readers can't find
anywhere else," Editor-Publisher
Bruce Mitchell said. "We are an
advocacy-oriented newspaper,
meaning we don't believe there is
such a thing as total objectivity."
Another newspaper on campus
is AFRO-AMERICAN AFFAIRS. The
all-student staff puts the paper out
monthly, but due to technical
difficulties did not publish an issue
fall quarter. AFRO-AMERICAN
AFFAIRS is on a rotary budget of the
Center Afro-American Studies and
receives funds from the allocations,

Office. According to Candace

The green radio stations are
affiliated with ACRN and area
Residence Life Programs. They are
not interconnected, but are closed
systems only broadcasting to the
dorms on their green.
An undergraduate creative arts
publication, SPHERE MAGAZINE
publishes short fiction, poetry and
graphic art. Students compose the
staff. SPHERE MAGAZINE is pub-
lished annually, coming out spring
quarter.
SPECTRUM GREEN is OU's
yearbook. The yearbook is self-
supporting and the staff consists of
students. "We try to combine the
best of magazine makeup and
design with the needs and require-
ments of a modern college year-
book," editor Scott Powers said. "A
lot of people comment that they've
never seen a yearbook like ours —
we take that as flattery. The Ohio

one of the most dynamic in the

A professor of English, Daniel
Keyes is the author of several short
stories, three novels, and is current-
ly working on his fourth. Keyes' first
major short story, "Flowers for
Algernon" was widely acclaimed
and when he rewrote it into his first
novel in 1966, it won the Nebula
Award for Best Novel.
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON
deals with a neurological exper-
iment performed on a retarded man
and the results and effects of that
experiment. The story was later
made into a screenplay entitled
CHARLY. Cliff Robertson won an
Oscar for Best Actor in 1969
portraying Charly.
Keyes' second novel, THE
TOUCH, released in 1968, deals
with the trauma in a nuclear plant
accident. His third novel has been
accepted by his publisher and is
scheduled for release in the fall of
1980.
Last summer, CHARLY was
made into a musical drama by David
Rodgers, with music score written
by Charles Strauss, who also wrote
the music to several popular
musicals, including ANNIE and
GOLDEN BOY. The musical opened
in Canada in December, 1978 to
standing ovations and rave reviews.
There is now a producer
working to get backers to bring
CHARLY to Broadway. And ABC
has shown an interest in doing a T.V.
special.
In his 13th year as a faculty
member of the English Department,
Keyes is on leave so that he can
devote full time to his current
project, the biography of Billy
Milligan, who is said to have ten
personalities. Milligan had read
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON and
specifically asked that Keyes write
his biography. Keyes has done
research in multiple personalities
while attending Brooklyn College.
Keyes, in commenting on the
fact that his writing deals in
psychological matters, said, "Every
writer finds his or her area to work.
I've found that I'm most fascinated
with the human mind."
He added that he does plan to
go into other things. Whatever these
other things happen to be, Keyes
has had an impact on both readers
of his books and students in his
classes.
Success is billowing upward for English professor Daniel Keyes.

Hodding Carter III and David
Brinkley headlined the World
Communication Conference enti-
tled "Communication in the 21st
Century,'' held April 27th through
May 4th.
Carter, assistant secretary of
state for public affairs, opened the
conference with a keynote address
entitled "International Communica-
tions: Rights and Responsibilities"
on Friday, April 27 in Memorial
Auditorium.
Carter said the United States
press and government are the best
in the world, but not good enough.
He said the inverted pyramid is an
unrealistic style to use in today's
active news world. Carter added
that the news media are inaccurate
in international coverage and the
media do not cover enough interna-
tional news.
Brinkley, anchorman for the
"NBC Nightly News,'' refuted
Carter's charges on international
coverage in a Kennedy Lecture on
Sunday evening, April 29 at Memor-
ial Auditorium. Brinkley said that
Americans are interested in local
news first, national news second
and international news last. He said
that the lack of time and interest
keep international coverage at a
minimum. But Brinkley added that
he thinks important international
events are covered well and stories
such as the Iranian Revolution were
perhaps overly covered. He pointed
out that time is a problem because
local affiliates do not want to give
the networks extra time to cover
more news.
Brinkley answered questions
ranging from what he does on the
job to whether he would replace
Johnny Carson on the "Tonight
Show." He assured the audience he
would not be replacing Carson and
had not even heard the rumor.

ALL-NIGHT ACRN
There may still have been as
many as 60 people out there
listening to him on ACRN radio
when it got to be 4 a.m., but there
was really no way for him to know.
So Dave Dolinsky would just keep
cueing up records and talking to his
invisible audience every Tuesday
morning from 2 to 7.
But for those persons with
cable radio who were staying up all
night studying or partying, Dolinski
and the other all-night ACRN D.J.s
were a constant source of music.
And that there was another voice
out there, another person trying to,
and succeeding at, staying awake.
For Kolinski, his weekly all-
nighter meant having to drink up to
a quart of mattee tea and orange
juice during the night. It meant
having to disrupt his Mondays and
Tuesdays to prepare for and recover
from his radio shift. And it meant
missing his Tuesday morning class
as often as not.
Dave Dolinski continues to cue records into the night, not sure just how many continue to listen.
216
IfM
But the late-night shift gave
Dolinski and the others an op-
portunity to play music that they
might not have been able to play
during the day. After all there is
nothing conventional about being
up at 4 a.m., whether studying,
partying or playing records on a
Tuesday morning. ,
Up late studying, Sue Palm listens to
late-night ACRN.
Top - Known by listeners as "Crazy Dave," he said he got a lot of calls in one night telling
him to quit playing "Cleveland music" and get back to Athens-type rock'n'roll.

You'd think that a broadway
production was about to take place.
Just walk into one of the eight campus
sorority houses a week before fall
classes begin. Inside you will find skit
rehearsals, song practices and an
over-abundance of decorations, name
tags and refreshments, all for the
coming week of fall rush.
Panhellenic Preview is the first
contact the OU girls have with the
Greek system. Panhel members go
from green to green with a slide
presentation of OU Greeks explaining
sorority and fraternity life.
The week of rush begins with the
Panhellenic Association organizing
the hundreds of girls into small
groups. A rush counselor escorts each
group to the sorority houses. Open
House is the first of the five-day
parties that allows rushees to casually
meet the girls from each house.
The following days are filled with
excitement as sororities set their
theme parties and perform skits and
dances demonstrating what their
sorority means to them. After three
days of parties, the rushees all meet
again and fill out bid cards for the
houses they choose to join. Meanwhile
the sororities also make lists of girls
they would like as sisters. Panhel then
matches the cards from the rushee
lists from the sororities.
Fraternity rushing follows the
sorority rush a week later without the
formal structure set up for sororities.
Rules are set up by the Fraternity
Council (IFC) but the individual
fraternities organize their own
system of rush. Open House is
publicized in THE POST, and large
banners are displayed over the
houses.
A relaxed atmosphere that
includes alcoholic beverages and
Greek Rush.
En masse, the Chi Omega* greet their new pledges.
230
A New Beginning
Lasting friendship and love is symbolized by a "welcome"
hug.
231
other refreshments is the standard
procedure. Fraternities do devise
theme parties for each of the five
nights of rush. When a house feels
comfortable with a certain individual
they ask him to pledge.
Black Greeks pledge new
members in a very individual and
selective procedure. They organize
their own time of rush which usually
is not during a specific week. When
they need new members they set up a
reserved room in Baker Center and
send out flyers to the men and women
on campus. There the fraternity or
sorority meets the rushees in a very
relaxed but serious atmosphere. From
this time on it is up to the sorority or
fraternity to decide who they would 1
like to meet again and maybe pledge |
into their organization. g
In a circle of sisterhood, Chi Omegas initiate their new pledges.
Rush counselors pull together final ideas before rushees enter.

Everyone had left Ewing Field
and all that remained was some litter.
But in the minds of those who sat on
the grass earlier, there lingered
hundreds of images of the color,
sounds and often silliness of J-Prom
1979.
Blocks away, costumed char-
acters, sound men and flat-carriers
were pulling tape from their mouths
and shouting the outcome at the
awards presentation. There was
reason for celebration. After a year's
absence, J-Prom had returned to Ohio
University a success, on May 9-10.
Many persons on campus doubted
J-Prom would come back. Only juniors
and seniors had ever seen the event
and known how much planning, time
and rehearsal each 15-minute skit
required.
Ric Gale, co-chairman of the
overall winners, said he felt the
one-year gap did not hurt his group.
"It was not a problem. We had
nothing to base our ideas on, so we had
to use our own creativity more," he
said. "I think it helped us a lot."
Four groups, all combinations of
Greek units, entered under the theme
"Behind the Scenes: What if ... "
The skits featured a variety of
ideas, from TV stars at a disco to a
musical version of THE EXORCIST.
Each group had to write scripts and
songs, choreograph dance numbers,
and paint scenery for their ideas.
"There was definitely competi-
tion between the groups, but it was
not the overriding factor." said Linda
Lee, who played one of the characters
in the Chi Omega-Lambda Chi Alpha
skit.
J-Prom
strikes again
"I'd never performed before and
I really enjoyed it. J-Prom teaches you
discipline and how to work to a
common goal," she said.
"J-Prom is a Greek tradition;
we're the only ones who keep it going.
You always say, 'I'm not going to do it
this year,' but you always end up
doing it and enjoying it," said Karla
Finger of the Alpha Ki Delta-Beta
Theta Pi group.
Chris Armstrong, Delta Tau
Delta one of the marshals in charge of
overseeing each group, said he felt
that this year's J-Prom was well
planned.
"The committee and marshals
took time to cover all the bases with
the groups," he said. "It was a good
experience. I hope it stays around for
a long time."
At the awards presentation. Chi
Omega-Lambda Chi Alpha won the
best overall skit, best songs, and best
choreography trophies. Alpha Gamma
Delta — Delta Tau Delta was second
overall, with trophies for best scenery
and banner. Alpha Xi Delta — Beta
Theta Pi won the award for best
costumes. The fourth participating
group was Phi Mu — Theta Chi.
"J-Prom brought about an
inter-and intra-house closeness." said
Gale. "It was a good learning
experience."
Who could resist a song? Certainly not Maryanna Shollz as Patsy McFadden belts one out.
240
Not everyone was in step, but no one noticed as the Alpha Xis and the Betas helped dance and sing J-Prom back to life.

An uninformed observer at Putnam
Field might have wondered if two
quarters had passed in the blink of an
eye, as OU's fraternities and
sororities participated in the Greek
Week activities this fall.
The annual event was moved from
spring to fall to open the calendars of
the Greek chapters, usually crowded
with formals and even busier with the
return of J-Prom.
The move created some problems,
according to co-chairpersons Linda
York and Tim Hopkins.
"It was tough to swing Greek Week
this year." said Hopkins. "The people
involved were not used to the change,
and there was not enough time to
organize properly."
"It was hard getting places large
enough to accommodate the events
because it was held so late in the
quarter." added York.
Still, those who participated seemed
to enjoy the week's activities, which
included a bed race, chug-off. Gong
Show and the traditional Greek
games.
This year's events marked the first
time black Greek chapters were
involved, participating in the Gong
Show and service projects which
raised $426.85 for United Appeal.
A new event was the "Greek God
and Goddess" Contest, which proved
to be a cross between a fashion show
and the $1.98 Beauty Contest.
"The Greek God thing was fun to
do. It differed from all the points and
glory that has been involved with
events in the past," said Hopkins.
"We tried to shy away from
everyone going for each others'
throats. I hope the competition aspect
is played down in the future," he

-Ping & Persons
In 1979 it became apparent that Ohio
University had finally reached stable
ground financially, and was ready to
prepare itself for what looked to be a rough
decade — the 1980s. The university had
been floundering from crisis to crisis for
several years, and appeared to be heading
in no particular direction before Charles
Ping became president in 1975.
But plans and programs laid out by
Ping and his administration for straighten-
ing things began to bear fruit this year.
"For the first time in at least eight or
nine years we haven't faced any budget
crises in the fall quarter." said James L.
Brunning. vice-president for planning and
development. "We had a solid budget this
year for the first time in a long while."
How had the university gotten out of
the hole in the first place?
"A few years ago the storms beating on
the university were frightening." Ping said
in his Convocation Address in September.
"Unanticipated enrollment decline, an
inability to meet debt payments and a
threat of default on bonds, a biennial
budget that was $6 million out of balance,
a skepticism about Ohio University in the
minds of leaders of state government and
the general public, destructive patterns of
student life, a gnawing, anxious doubt that
kept faculty and students from viewing
with pride the richness of life here at Ohio
University."
In the past couple of years progress has
been made to overcome these problems.
Much of this progress can be attributed to
a six-point Education Plan, developed in
1977, to give the university direction. The
plan included a commitment to the ideal of
a university; a commitment to measure the
growth of the university in terms of quality
instead of quantity; a commitment to the
intellectual community; a commitment to
the international community and develop-
ing education for interdependence; a
commitment to life-long learning; and a
commitment to educational justice.
Of course, a number of problems still
exist and are cropping up at the university.
But now that Ping and the other adminis-
trators are no longer fighting crises left over
from the past, they're in a better position to
tackle these problems, Ping said.
After just three years at Ohio
University. Ping almost left in the spring.
He applied to fill the vacant presidency at
Michigan State, but after being selected as
a finalist, withdrew his application.
"I thought long and hard about it; I
decided to stay here." Ping said. "We had
a lot of people who had invested a lot of
time toward attaining our goals. There
were a lot of factors, though. I guess it was
mostly the people."
It's the diversity of students, among
other things, that kept Ping here. He's quick
to note that Ohio University has the highest
percentage of out-of-state and internation-
al students of any state university in Ohio.
"A number of students chose this
institution deliberately." Ping said. "They
don't just go here to go to college."
And. according to Ping, the quality of
students coming here has improved.
"As I look at the circulation figures in
the library, they've had a four-fold
increase in 10 or 12 years. The use of the
library reserve shelf also shows a dramatic
increase." he said. "All of that suggests that
whatever else students are doing, they're
not spending all their time partying."
Not that he is against partying.
"Alcohol, like any other substance is what
you do with it — good or bad." he said.
"Parties are not necessarily bad; I go to
parties. I like parties."
Ping's right-hand man in the adminis-
tration is provost and vice-president for
academics, Neil Bucklew. Bucklew. who
came to Ohio University with Ping from
Central Michigan University, has been
described as sharing the presidency. He
was responsible for the planning process
that helped bring stability to the university,
and his responsibilities include directing
the instructional programs.
Perhaps the most controversial
administrator during the year was Carol
Harter. the vice-president and dean of
students. She was responsible for the 1804
birthday party in June and the Halloween
party, both held in the Convocation Center.
Each of these moves were partly responsi-
ble for reducing the annual uptown
disturbances during those nights. She was
also involved in the new seating regulation
for Convo concerts, a move intended to
increase safety and crowd control. Harter
is responsible for residence halls, student
organizations and activities, and student
support services.
As vice-president for planning and
development. Brunning's job deals mainly
with keeping things moving along.
However, he headed an effort to bring
about a change in the faculty-adviser
program and a structural change in the
university college, to increase advising.
Wayne Kurlinski, the vice-president
for university relations, is involved in
promoting outside understanding and
support for the university. He led the
fantastically successful 1804 Fund, which
concluded in the fall after netting the
university over $22 million. In addition, he
deals with alumni, government relations
and publications.
Gene Peebles is vice-president of
operations and his responsibilities cover
everything from security to facilities
planning. It was out of his office that the
findings of the Special Utilization and
Management Study will be carried out.
This will include, over the next several
years, a reduction in buildings and floor
space at the university.
But that is yet to come. Now that the
university has declared itself to be on
stable ground, Ping and his crew still have
a hard fight ahead.
"We have weathered the storm; the „
ship is afloat sailing in a strong wind." Ping f
said. "But the seas ahead are heavy, and we S.
must be at the tasks of trimming the sails s
and setting a course." <"
President Ping points to new directions for
Ohio University. 251
Persons o£ the World
If you ask the question, "Where
are you from?" at Ohio University,
never assume you will be given such
responses as "Cincinnati." or
"Toledo." There are students here
who would reply "Ankara," "Cal-
cutta," or "Izmir." Obviously, they
do not go home for the weekend.
Over 1,000 international
students here in Athens boast an
array of backgrounds — from China,
Malaysia and Taiwan; to Pakistan,
Saudi Arabia and Iran; to Peru,
Turkey and Nigeria; to Egypt, Libya
and Norway . . . the list goes on.
International students reside on
all greens at OU, though many of
them choose to live in Shively or
Perkins halls, which are internation-
al dorms located on the East Green.
Some are graduate students, some
are freshmen. Their majors differ, as
do their campus activities, opinions
of American culture and of OU.
Luis Felipe Valcarcel, is a
25-year-old graduate student in
Business Administration from Lima,
Peru. He was a 1977 graduate from
the Universidad de Lima. Valcarcel
had friends from Lima who attended
OU in 1974 and 1976. He admits he
came to school with a distorted
picture of Athens, influenced by his
friends.
Lima is all cement according to
Valcarcel who was overwhelmed by
the lush hills of southern Ohio. He
described his first view of OU's
campus as fascinating. Valcarcel,
the only Latin American student in
Shively, became involved in dorm
government and Tae-Kwon-Do and
is a member of the OU Latin
American Association.
Sedat Gokcen, an electrical
engineering major from Turkey,
represents the international students
on the Student Advisory Board. He
is a Resident Assistant, formerly in
Gamertsfelder, currently in Shively,
and he hopes to become an Assistant
Resident Director. He chose to study
outside of Turkey because of the
internal conflicts in his country, and
had never been in the U.S. before
his arrival on campus, which he now
likes.
On the other hand, Sudata
Gupta, a history major from Calcut-
ta, India, finds OU and Athens
satisfactory, but observes, that
"there is no existence outside of the
campus."
Gupta, another graduate
student, found that arriving at OU
two days before classes began gave
her little time to adjust to a new city,
a new culture and a new education
system. Standing in lines for three
hours at Chubb Hall did not add to
her pre-conceived notion of "Amer-
ican efficiency" either.
Adjustments were not too
difficult for her and some differ-
ences, such as the informal teacher-
student relations on campus, Gupta
found extremely fascinating.
Already fluent in English,
Gupta had no language problems,
but that is not the case with many
foreign students. Many, Gupta says,
find that life in the United States can
Though tensions sometimes exist, international students usually find help from American
students.

be very lonely. Gupta has overcome
this because of her basic interest in
people and other cultures. She
attributes having many American
friends to being willing to adjust to,
even if she cannot fully accept,
value differences. "You can find out
about people by reading books,"
Gupta says, "But books don't talk
back to you — people do."
And while foreign students may
be thousands of miles from home,
often they are affected by interna-
tional crises, as in the case of
freshman Jahandar Ketabchi, from
Tehran, Iran. He is a civil engineer-
ing major and one of three Iranians
in Shively.
Ketabchi misses his family, but
would not want to go back to Iran.
Due to the turmoil, everything was
closed, and he was bored. Ketabchi
does not support the Shah or
Khomeini, and is not involved with
protests, but the situation in Iran has
also created difficulties in financing
his education. Money goes through a
great deal of red tape before he
receives it.
Ketabchi finds Athens enjoy-
able and hasn't encountered the
problems that some Iranians on
college campuses have as a result of
American ill-feelings.
He compared Khomeini to the
pope, noting that he is qualified to
run religion, but not politics.
Ketabchi would wait until the
turmoil is over before he would go
back to Iran, but the situation has
caused him considerable reflection.
He has mixed feelings about where
he will eventually live. Right now he %
has to concentrate on finishing his <B

Student Senate
Battles For Its Li£e
In 1979-80 Student Senate faced
its greatest challenge in its four-year
history with the duty of ratifying a
new constitution. It took 18 months
of study before the final document
was presented to the student body by
the Constitutional Review Task
Force.
A winter quarter campaign was
highlighted by feverish confronta-
tions between the Senate and THE
POST. Although 82 percent of those
voting approved the constitution, the
document came within 54 votes
|17.4' '- ) of receiving the necessary 18
percent of the student body vote
needed for ratification.
"Communication, internal and
external, remains a problem," said
Judicial Chairperson Ardis Edmon-
son. "It was reflected in the
constitution vote."
Rejecting the idea of permanent
reinstatement by the administration,
the senate chose instead to take a
revised constitution back to the
student body for yet another vote.
"The things we faced this year
taught us that we can't be all things
to all people," said senate president
Kevin Williams, after defeat of the
document. "The same people that
say that the Student Senate
shouldn't exist are the same ones
asking the members for help in
solving their problems."
The Senate met the administra-
tion head on over issues such as the
controversial Convo concert policy,
which limited the use of the Convo
for future concerts. The Senate also
protested the lack of input on this
and other decision-making commit-
tees and eventually won approval
for most of its suggested revisions.
The Senate commissions
continued to be the backbone of the
Senate. The Academics Commission
and a Senate task force appeared
before the faculty and administra-
tion with improvement on the
advising system and produced an
advisee's bill of rights. The Judicial
Commission, stripped of its tradi-
tional input into judicial hearings,
continued to advise students of the
judicial process and to investigate
student grievances year round.
The Escort Service began full
operation again in mid-January
under executive coordinator Lisa
Lightfoot. Along with 130 other
volunteers, the Escort Service was
operating even better than its initial
year.
Senate treasurer Dave Halt
summed up the year by saying, "At
times it can be a pain in the ass, but
sometimes you have to take a pain in
the ass to defend student interests."
President Kevin Williams survived a lot ol flak, but hit senate might not.

Willford has studied English for

there is too much school work.

they replied that they hail always

About 500 visiting scholars will

University now has five visiting
scholars who are supported by both
their government and Oil. Most of
the scholars arc studying mathema-
tics or engineering and are in their
late twenties or early thirties.

his short stay in the U.S. very
interesting, particularly our celebra-

between our two countries has been
one-sided but James Y. Tong, a

Dedicated Persons
Volunteer Time —
Helping the menially troubled may require enthusiasm and patience, or sometimes just a warm hug.
270
Buses bring 150 volunteers each Monday.
The Halloween party is always special to both residents and volunteers.
They were excited. They were
going to the Athens Mall. Yet all they
had to spend was one dollar; but to
some of the residents of the Athens
Mental Health Center, it was more
than enough. They also had a special
group of friends accompanying
them: students who volunteer their
Monday nights to work at the Health
Center.
The residents always think of
Monday evening as a special event.
Some greet the volunteers with
handshakes, hugs and kisses as the
students step off the bus.
Residents attend Monday night
functions with much enthusiasm.
During the week, they ask, "When
are the volunteers coming?" And the
enthusiasm is contagious.
"I feel really good when I get off
the bus," said volunteer Sharon
Poling. "It makes me feel wanted
and needed."
Most volunteers have no com-
plaints. From the minute they step
off the bus, they know why they are
there — to help their friends and
have fun as well.
Besides helping around the
center, the volunteers also plan
special functions. These functions
include bus trips to the mall, art
exhibits and an annual Halloween
party when both residents and
volunteers dress up in their wildest
costumes and dance, bob for apples,
drink cider and perform skits.
There is also a resident volun-
teer program in which students
participate. One such student.
Marcy Yaffe, lived at the Mental
Health Center this past summer. In
exchange for room and board, Yaffe
worked fifteen hours a week in
patient-related activities. Yaffe said
it was easy to become attached to the
women she lived with.
One advantage of the resident
program is the opportunity residents
have to observe the volunteer's
lifestyle, making the chances of
outside living much greater for the
resident.
Yaffe said that it was a good
experience. She loved the job and
the people, and said she came to
think of them as friends and not
patients.
That sentiment was echoed by
Julia Smith, a three-year volunteer
who started going to the center on
Monday nights during her freshman
year and has been a volunteer since.
Smith loved it so much that she
changed her major from social
studies to special education. Some-
times she missed studying for exams
so she could go to the center.
It seems one might become
depressed after witnessing these
people's problems, yet none of the
volunteers seem depressed. Of
course, some have reservations. "I
sometimes have doubts about
whether I want to do this the rest of
my life," said volunteer Laura
Stouffer. But she said she always has
a good feeling when she gets home.
Smith agreed, "They just want
someone to listen to them as a friend,
I would do anything for them," she
added.

John Reil, ol Gamertsfelder Hall, plays with his dog, Shadow.
While not completely blind, Ralph Johnson is
visually handicapped, but special viewing
screens help him overcome this.
"You don't have to be perman-
ently blind or deaf to make use of
our handicap services," explains
Tony Coleman, programs director
for Affirmative Action. The program
is designed to assist all handicapped
students ranging from permanently
blind or deaf to the temporarily
impaired.
Here at Ohio University there
are three blind students that take
advantage of the services. One of
them is David Andrews, house

Handicapped Persons
Not Impaired At OU —
proctor of Delta Tau Delta Fraterni-
ty. Andrews has been attending
graduate school at O.U. since fall
1978 and will be graduating in
March 1980. He has found his way
around the O.U. campus very
successfully. He has been attending
public schools since the sixth grade.
Each quarter David plans ahead
by ordering tape cassettes which are
a much easier form of studying than
big and bulky Braille text books. It
takes time and planning to order the
tapes because the New York service
he uses is the only service available
today.
But, with the programs being set
up by Coleman, O.U. will soon be
taping their own books for the blind
students, offering a much quicker
service. Besides setting up a taping
system, Coleman is also designing a
Braille Room for Alden Library. The
room will accomodate Braille
typewriters, talking books, and
current magazines.
Another service that will be
made available will be a project
called "Circle of Care". The circle
will include volunteers from Athens
and volunteer students that will help
the handicapped in any way they
need.
"Our job is to make any and all
handicapped students more com- 1
fortable here at O.U.," says 1
Coleman. o

All these images of
Ohio University are very
real. Each of the ten
views demands its own
recognition, but they're
not mutually exclusive.
286
In fact, all of these
views must surely come
together to form one
image of Ohio University:
the image we take with us
when we leave.
